I currently have Mandrake 9.0. It is installed on a 40 GB hard drive. IThe easiest way is to install RedHat into a separate partition and boot it with a boot-floppy after installing it the way you normally would.
want to mess around with RedHat 8.0 a little. I was wondering how to set up
my machine so I can boot into either Mandrake or Redhat. I also need to
know how to install RedHat in addition to Mandrake. Do I have to reformat
my partitions? Thanks for any help.

It's a bit slower to boot but that way you get some time to decide whether you want to keep it i.e. install some other distrib or whatever:o)
Be sure to create the needed partition first (''parted'' on floppies does a great job, especially if you need to resize) though. You can let RH and Mdk share the same swap, you won't be running them simultaneously.
If you want to, you can add your RH partition/install using your existing lilo (or grub) in Mdk but you will have to create the specific init.rd for it to point to. To tackle that you will have to have RH already installed so that's for later:o)
Good Luck,
Harm
then redhat installer will not automatically put it's init.rd file in a shared
/boot partition , you will have to do that afterwards, because when
I ever get around to doing a RH install I planned not to install RH
lilo at all but then add a stanzas in mandrake lilo.conf to boot RH.
My lilo sits in W2k MBR.
