Hi all been using linux for a while now (2-3 years??) q) whats the difference between an install and an upgrade?? currently running rh 7.3; have rh 8.0 install set upgrade seems to blow away any prevous kernel versions in the grub menu on startup a) I waz woundering if by doing an install, I would have kept the prevous boot options? I have apps such as VMWare which prevously have been very very picky about what kernel they play in the sandpit with [:(] ...thus have been caught out in prevous upgrades by being forced to upgrade all b) I see there's 7.3 compatablity libraries; is it possible to run both 7.3 & 8.0 with ease? c) also, as a on-the-side question - how hard is it to run a few distro's together? ie say... Mandrake / RedHat & Debian (maybe). I'd imagine careful planning of partitions would be required, but all-in-all very possible ...no? (have large HD capacity & want to play) thanking all in advance [:)] cheers Marcus -- Tutor Assistant [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Dept. of Computer Science University of Canterbury Phone: +64 3 366-7001 ext: 7871 Office: 323 [ http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~marcus/index.html ]
