Well, I have tried this before unsuccessfully and now want to try it again. I had at one time made my machine into tri-boot win-rh5.0-sw3.3 . At that time rh would read from the kernel installed by sw 3.3 ( which was the first linux installed). What I wanna do is have sw3.3 ( running 2.0.36) and rh5.2 . Also there would be win98 for other users on this system but I want to use 2 linuxes. How can i make them read their own respective kernels where lilo would be the boot manager for the whole box( bhoices being rh and sw and win ). Any Ideas tips hints ??? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
