Re: Multi-booting Linux & XP

I've had an XP, Mac OS X (x86 Beta ) and Linux machine before, that was kinda amusing

Well, in the interests of accuracy, what I heard was closer to what Punky said. The info I received wasn't that grub couldn't do it as such, it was more that it might not handle more than 1 instance of Linux automatically & that I might have to go delving into config files or whatever to sort it out. It's been quite a while since I did anything more indepth with Linux than the brief fiddle I had with the Ubuntu Live CD last week, & I remember finding things like the directory structure/filing system/whatever rather confusing. That's why I was hoping for something that could do what I wanted automatically without me having to "get my hands dirty", as it were, until I'm more familiar with Linux in general.
I have had one or two distro`s in the past that required a little bit of work on the menu.lst but Ubuntu & Co`s Grub should pick em up all day long hopefully.Same one or not.
