Tri-Boot?

[MrOOBiLL]

Is it possible? To triple-boot or whatever the correct term is... I was hoping to add Linux on a third partition - however, ive never heard anything about having 3 OSs, so guys, can it be done? :confused:

Definitely.

When you install Linux, the setup process will install a new bootloader, usually a program called lilo (stands for linux loader).
You'll have to change the boot settings from Linux, usually by editing "/etc/lilo.conf", but some distributions have a graphical program for that.

Also, if you install a Microsoft OS afterwards, it will overwrite lilo, causing your linux setup to be nonbootable. Doing "fdisk /mbr" in DOS prompt also overwrites lilo with the default MS bootloader.

So lilo would be installed on my XP partition? Sounds a little funky.
