I do it that way, always installing new distro from scratch it a separate partition and not switching to that as the default till I have it working well. My primary master boot system is a stand alone grub leftover from installing fedora a long time ago with a separate /boot partition. I just kept the /boot partition and use it for chainloading the other systems with entries in grub.conf like so: title Fedora 11 x86_64 rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1 When I installed fedora 11, I told it to install grub in the boot partition, NOT in the master boot record of the physical disk. That leaves my master boot alone and lets the chainloader startup the grub in the fedora 11 boot partition. I currently have both 32 and 64 bit versions of fedora 8, 10, and 11 all on one disk, all chainloading from the master grub (though I admit the only one I'm using these days is 64 bit fedora 11). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
