Hi can someone advise.
I currently have Mandrake 9 setup on my drive> I have plenty of space.
But I want to load on Redhat as a trial as I have never tried it before and
now have a copy
I do not have Windows on the drive.

I have previously set up Mandrake and windows98 and that worked fine using
Lilo
However how do you load two linux distributions ? Loading Red Hat does not
seem to allow me to set it up ??
Also do you need to have Two swap partitions or can the 2 distributions use
the same one. (I am not trying to run TWO dists at once just one at a time)?
Any advice would be most welcome
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions supplied.
