How do I install 2 linux s to one machine

[clari_player]

Gidday.

I currently have windows 98 and Yoper linux installed on my machine. However I would also like to install Knoppix to the hard drive (which I found instruction for). I'm keen to try out a debian based linux.

However, I have had little success in getting two Linux s to work without one needing a boot disk, and those things take a while to load.

I wish to be able to use Yoper's lilo which is installed to the mbr. Here's some specific questions.

*Do I need another swap partition?
*What do I add to Yoper's lilo.conf in order to add knoppix to the boot menu?

You can share swap partitions between linux distros, so you don't need another.

Here's some search results for dual boot lilo:

Basically you just need to add an entry into lilo that calls your kernel, telling it which partition it's in, and then run /sbin/lilo.

There are tons of threads here at JL about this subject. Try the search function and I'm sure you'll find what you need quickly.

You'll have to configure your boot loader so it can find the kernel images from the other distro and boot it. I recommend GRUB for this, and can probably help you out if u need any tips.
