| hi guys
i got 30gb hard drive and i want to mutliboot Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 XP Prof, Netware 5, Windows NT4 and Linux/Unix Server.
Is it possible. How?. Please Guide me step by step Thanks. | |

| This could be a tight fit on 30GB but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. I'd install the OSs in this order:
1. DOS (needed by NetWare)
2. Netware 5 (actually, you can install this at any time once you have DOS since NetWare doesn't touch the mbr).
3. Windows NT 4 (it's a good idea to install Microsoft OSs in the chronological order of when they came out).
4. Windows 2000 Server
5. Windows XP Professional
6. Linux/Unix
I'm not going to attempt to tell you step by step how to install six OSs  If you have any specific questions I'll try to answer them. | |

| for netware, i dont know, since supposedly it doesnt touch the mbr, im not going to touch that one, but basically .. just install it in the order ccieToBe told you, and then edit lilo.conf in linux, jus add the a image= line and the device id, you'll see how its done when you look at it, save and exit lilo.conf, run 'lilo', reboot, and lilo should get it going fine, of course read a short tutorial on editing lilo.conf, it should be fairly easy .. cept the netware part, i dunno, .. eh ..

Yeah, NetWare doesn't touch the mbr because it has to load from within DOS. It comes with Caldera? DOS, but MS DOS works just as well if you'd prefer that. Once NetWare's installed it can be started up by either placing an entry in one of DOS's startup files or issuing a command (forgot the command). So really the only thing that installing NetWare does to the MBR is what installing DOS does if you don't already have it. |
