These are on /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2, I'm assuming.

Master or slave? If slave, primary or secondary?

How did you make space?

Run your previous linux (call it lin1). run `fdisk /dev/hdb1` (assuming
your new linux (call it lin2) is on hdb2, ymmv.) and select:
l list known partition types
(to see the partition type numbers)
p print the partition table
(check what you have)
n add a new partition
v verify the partition table
w write table to disk and exit
Be careful....

Don't let caldera install any boot loaders. Alternatively (this might be
better), let it install lilo on it's own partition or whatever. Then you
can read the lilo.conf file from caldera's /etc and add the apprpriate
entries to lilo.conf in lin1's /etc. That's what I did.
Once caldera has been setup, boot back into lin1 and change /etc/lilo.conf
(or using linuxconf) as described above.
See the LILO mini-HOWTO. also Multiboot-with-LILO.
Standard disclaimers apply, as always.
