Hi, Is it possible to have a multple boot loading capability which will permit me to have Windows XP, Fedora 1 and say Fedora 5 (i.e 3 or more OS)on the same Hard disk using Grub or any other bootloader? If yes how do I load the Operating sstems?
I have presently a dual boot system with Fedora 1 and Windows XP (and am using GRUB).

Im not sure about Fedora core, but I have had Win XP, Mandriva, Mepis and Suse 10.0 installed on the same disk without problems providing I installed Suse last as it's GRUB installation seemed to recoginse the otherOS better. mepis and mandriva failed to detect the other Linux OS's. Then again it could be just the way I installed them.
