If I'm not horribly mistaken, you can use the same /boot amongst all your bootable linuxes on the same machine. If you didn't do this, then installing another linux, and having it install grub, say, would mean losing access to the others, until you updated /boot/grub/grub.conf manually. I can see that different distros might mangle grub.conf in incompatible ways though. But stick to the same distro and I hope you'd be ok. The above location of grub.conf is for redhat8, dunno where others put it. Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
