One is to make a /boot partition common to Knoppix and ML9 and use the Boot configuratopr to ADD Knoppix after skipping bootloader installation during install. The second way it to use the / partition of your latest install which has a /boot directory.... and to follow the procedurte given here: http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=473&lang=en Yeah, the instructions are that old--you no longer need to drag the /lib/modules files if you ever did, but you do need to make the / partitions of the other systems visible long enough to copy over the kernel (vmlinuz) and the initrd.img or more properly what they point to. Happy motoring!!! Civileme
