lilo & moving from Slackware 10.1 to 10.2
« on: January 11, 2006, 01:41:00 PM »
Howdy,
I have 2 dual boot machines. Both with WinXP and Slackware 10.1 partitions and I use lilo installed on the MBR for the boot manager. I want to install Slackware 10.2 on both machines and keep both machines dual boot since i need windows sometimes.

How would i do this without wiping the hard disk ? I do not want to change the windows partition.  Last time i tried to do this i ended up with lilo asking me two times to choose the operating system before i can boot linux

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Just wondering how you are coming along with this project.  Have you seen our article about multi-booting here?  Does that help you any?

Windows and Linux are two different beasts living in the same house.

If you delete the Linux partition and install 10.2 then you should be fine.
