I have a small 8GB drive with lilo installed, It has win98 and mandrake. I installed on this drive because my second drive is a raid 0 array. When I got the kernel compiled with the raid drivers I then copied the system to the raid array and added a section in lilo for it. On the array is win98, win2k, and mandrake each with an entry in LILO. THese are the ones I use. If the array gets hosed I can boot win98 or mandrake off the small drive and fix the problem i.e. re-compile the kernel or whatever. The main reason I do this is because I never could get lilo on the raid array, the 2 times I tried broke the array and lost the partitions. Or when I'd upgrade the kernel the raid driver had to be re-compiled. Jack
