Re: [newbie] Dual Booting the same OS

OK, But on the current release  M9.1 , where is the tab to not install 
Lilo in the MBR or anywhere else for that matter. I have'nt noticed any 
choice so far ?

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.

The question is this .
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 ?
