I should probably have been more explicit, in my stating of the question. What I wanted to know, was, given that, in Legacy mode, with GRUB, both Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Debian 7, are installed on the particular computer, and, I can select to boot either one of those, can I simply also install Debian 6 LTS on that system, to have it concurrently installed with Debian 7, and, to be able, using GRUB, to select to boot into one of those operating systems (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Debian 7, or, Debian 6 LTS), without any interference from the installations of the other operating systems? It has taken me about 18 months, to get Debian 7 installed and running, in the state that it now can be run, and so I want to be able to get Debian 6 LTS, installed and running, "with a minimum of fuss". -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
