[CLUE-Tech] Using LILO for multiple versions of Linux on same drive

[John Kottal]

How do I configure my system to allow selection of multiple versions of
Linux on the same hard drive?

I am currently trying to dual boot Slackware 7.1 and Debian 2.1 (2.2 if
I can get it upgraded).

I would prefer Slackware to be the default boot, since it is using the
newer version of  LILO that will read beyond block 1024.

The hard disk is 3.6 MB, partitioned as follows:

    130 MB swap disk on /hda1
    2.0 MB Slackware 7.1 installation on /hda2
    1.5 Debian 2.1 installation on /hda3

What do I need in the lilo.conf file --- and in which one: do I need to
place one for each distribution? If so, which one (or do both) writes to
the MBR or do I write one to the MBR and the other to the boot
directory?

Thanx.
