I agree with Arun on this. However, we shouldn't get too carried away with dual booting; keep these particular objective(s) fairly basic. As far as boot managers are concerned, perhaps we should focus on both lilo and grub. This should help us keep the objectives relevant to the most commonly-used distributions.

Best regards,

James

Tom,

Here is my 2c.  Given that LILO is part of Level 1 testing, I think we should
include basic multi booting between Linux and MS Windows.  IMHO, this would
cover the majority of the situations a junior level sys admin might encounter.
