Multiple OSes
Ok, I have a copy of Sun Solaris 10 and I would like to install it on my system. The problem is, I already am running Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP Pro, and Mandrake Linux 10.1 on this machine. My last installation (Mandrake) provided me with my boot loader (LILO) so I do not wish to disturb this. I also do not wish to reinstall all of my operating systems I already have, I simply want to add in Solaris. Also worth noting, is that I have two IDE HDD's (and plenty of space left), I'm not sure if this piece of information changes anything.
Any suggestions? |

Are the OS's all on one HDD? Or are they on the 2 that you mentioned? I'm confused...

Currently, yes. Windows 2000/XP and Mandrake 10 are all on a single HDD. Solaris is not yet installed.

Why not install Solaris on one of the seperate drives, then edit LILO to add Solaris.
Here's some info from Sun's website about adding Solaris to pre-existing OS's http://www.sun.drydog.com/faq/9.html Hope this points you in the right direction Mike

Why do you need all of those OS's? Not that I'm saying it's wrong or anything, I'm just curious to why your putting 4 OS's on a single HDD.
