Anyone Dual Boot?

WTSand · May 21, 2003

I've built dual boot systems for some of my clients and run a dual boot (XP Pro and Slackware) on my personal PC. I didn't do a poll because they're way too many options but I'm curious as to what systems you load and what bootloader you use. I once booted 5 OSs (3 Windows and 2 Linux on 2 HDDs) with ntldr and it worked very well so it's my bootloader of choice.

I boot OpenBSD 3.2, FreeBSD 5.0, Slackware 8.1, and Windows 2000 Pro, The Windows is my dads and Slackware is just used for linux testing when FreeBSD binary emulation isn't good enough, That's 4 OSes but considering the EXTREME diffuculties of booting 2 disklabel OSs and 2 non-disklabel OSs, it's pretty hard

I usually dual boot and use whatever it comes with, usually Red Hat or Suse loader, though Red Hats is much better.

Typical Scouse humour I was born and bred in Liverpool and always love to listen to Scousers banter. Living in Australia is great but I do miss Liverpool.

BTW I dual boot Windows XP Pro and ME.

I use to dual boot LILO, then GAG, now I use FBSD boot loader, I truly hate GRUB, GAG and FBSD boot loaders are so much nicer

so when winXP takes the big dump from overclocking I go thru win2K and repair ......and win2K for games

Hi Scouse, I was born in a house in Cherry Lane, but grew up in Norris Green. Yer never know I could be yer aunty I'm old enough, I think. Where about does your Mum live in Australia?

wendyanne · May 24, 2003

Hi again Scouse, I can't remember much about Cherry lane, left there when I was a babe in arms. I also left the "Pool" when I was 14 so my memories are none too clear.

BTW Adelaide is in South Australia I have never been rich enough to take a trip back home, worse luck but I have a sister ther in Ellesmere Port and she says the place has gone to the dogs.
