I plan to add LM8.2 to my system and keep LM8.0 for daily use until I'm sure 
everything works. My LM 8.0 is on hda a 20 gig hd) and I use LILO to boot. I plan to 
purchase a new 40 gig hd, and devote that entirely to LM8.2. -- the new drive would be 
hdc.

My questions:

Preserving the setup, 8.0 on hda, and 8.2 on hdc:

        1. Will I be able to boot into hdc using the present LILO setup?
        2. I want to use XFS with 8.2; presently 8.0 uses ext2. Can I mix&match?
        3. Can I use GRUB with 8.2 and LILO with 8.0 (would this "break" something?)

Changing the setup:

        1. If I move hda to become hdc, will this mess up LILO? (That is, if I make    
         LM 8.0 the secondary drive (hdc), and use the new drive as hda). I don't      
                                  want to take a chance on losing data.

I hope that the above is not too confusing -- Any suggestions or warnings?

Tia,
Andre
