Mark wrote a lot about using a single /boot partition for several distros. Thanks for an interesting read. It fit quite nicely along with what I thought ought to work. One thing I also thought about, however, was putting the actual lilo.conf in /boot and having /etc/lilo.conf be a symbolic link to the actual file in all distros. This would of course require mounting the partition as /boot in all distros, but that would also make it easier than having to reboot to your default distro, copying stuff and running lilo each time you make a new kernel. (I know you can compile a kernel for RH on SuSE, but you might want to compile a RH-patched one for RH and a SuSE-patched one for SuSE.) Another consideration is initrd for allowing modules required for booting. If someone is using this, an additional file would have to be copied. To avoid making too much of a mess, perhaps each distro should have its own subdirectory in /boot. Well those where my 2 cents or whatever currency you accept.
