[newbie] How-to have Multiple distros on one hard drive

[philomena]

Hi all,

I just got a machine with a 40 GB drive. For various reasons I would like to
try and setup Windows (I know, I know - I need it for work..), Mandrake and
another linux distro - possibly suse, or have a second  mandrake install for
playing around with new stuff, yet maintain a stable install. I have plenty
enough disk for this, and have setup a dual-boot windows/mandrake system
before. But, I'm not sure about approaching this - the threads I read today
about what you can and can't have below the 1024 cylinder got me thinking.
For this, would I need 2 \boot partitons ? Is that possible ? Or just the
one for lilo and then just partition the heck out of the machine ?

help !

thx,
phil
