But that makes only sense for the bootloader which is in the MBR. So you do it once and never again. Whenever you add a distribution, you put the bootloader of this new one in its root partition. Then you boot the distribution which has its bootloader in the MBR and add the relevant 3 lines into its menu.lst. You can't use drakboot for that. -- wobo
