Hi there!
The biggest problem will be the duplicates of every possible application, and
the dependance of every distro on version/s of libraries.
What I have been doing:
Allocate for the "other distro" one big partition and let it install itself
as it wishes. (you have working distro which is divided by your requirements,
the other is "just curiosity").
Let "otherLILO" install itself on partition, it will have one choice only,
the kernel of this distro. Instruct the main LILO to call this one.
Usually the swap will be detected and used.
Once you stop playing and know which one is THE one, install it, partitioning
wisely.

Have fun.

Thanks to all who helped. I learned a lot about using vi. I will say I have a
lot to learn. I did manage to edit out the errant entries in file. I still
failed to boot to my GUI. Apparently something else went arry with the Qt
install. I reformatted and reinstalled and will stay with my system where it
is until there is a supported update for my distro (Caldera eDesktop 2.4).
Thanks again

One can change the CC= statement in the Makefile, or you could replace
the 2.96-unknown version with 2.96-80 from rawhide, with which I've made
the last 5 or 6 kernels here.
Cheers, Gene

Hi,
Thanks! That's what I needed. I used netscape composer to throw together
this quick test page and I used 'Browse File' to find the file link and it
giving me
the invalid path. I just assumed it would do it correctly and did not pay
attention.
whatever.zip and /files/whatever.zip as you said do work.
I kept playing with the file/directory rights and the Apache config.
Thanks.
Stan.
