When installing the second 9.1, don't install any boot loader. Then, reboot to your old linux, modify the lilo.conf and add the lines pointing to the second copy (don't forget to rerun lilo). Then reboot and select the second install and it should come up.

Install 1, OS M9.1 on /dev/hda7 lilo in MBR. fine, this reads /etc/lilo.conf from partition/dev/hda7 Install 2, OS M9.1 on /dev/hda6 lilo still in MBR but overwrites previous LILO this will read which /etc/lilo.conf ? because now you have two /etc/lilo.conf /etc/lilo.conf on /dev/hda7, or /etc/lilo.conf on /dev/hda6, and what is more, if I want to make it read /etc/lilo.conf on /dev/hda7 how do I do that ? Is it possible ? John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
