Well, if it's that simple, you would do me (and a lot of other plodders)
a great service by pointing us to a recipe that explains how to set up
distros using grub and lilo where one can simply point and click to boot
a particular distro.
You may find it amazing but there are many who find the problem of
incompatible distros insurmountable. Up to now, I've had to resort to
deleting the incompatible distro and installing a known compatible
distro in order to regain access to my current preferred distro. Note:
it's not just grub versus lilo; many distros using grub are also
mutually exclusive.
References please.
Thanks

As a perpetual non-expert supporter of open software who likes to
try out distros in separate partitions on a single HDD, I've got
to say the bootloader is a huge issue for very unadvanced multi

It is sad to experience competing linux distributions treating
each other like enemies, and MS OSs as best friends.
Is there any possibility - ever - of a bootmanager that can allow
hitherto incompatible distros to peacefully coexist on a single HDD?

Hi,
I am interested in installing 12.10 [rather than 12.04] on
one drive of
a computer in which a second drive has Windows (for the rare
occasions
when I use Windows) on it.
I am a bit apprehensive after reading this review:
http://arstechnica.com/business/2012/11/review-ubuntu-12-10-quantal-quetzal-a-mix-of-promise-pain/
which says that there is a problem in installation of the
bootloader
(see section "Installer crazy") which requires a work-around.
Have any of you had this difficulty in installation of 12.10 ?
The copy I have is on a Linux magazine's DVD, called 'Ubuntu
12.10 beta
2'.
Thanks
Dave
