Hi Jozef,
I forgot just one point -
as you might have seen, I am working for Fujitsu Siemens.
My computers are just test systems with more than one OS.
When I get a new system, I start in the following way :
allocate a small partition for boot ( which I do not use during the
installation )
allocate a larger partition for my first distribution.
Later I copy the content of the boot partition to the first partition,
write a boot record to the second partition, and change the MBR to point
to the first partition. the menu.lst of the first partition will be now
used for chainloading of my linux distributions.
If I have also a WINDOWS, I install first my WINDOWS and have at least
1 small linux partition on the first disk ( this partition must contain
a boot record ), this boot record (512bytes) I copy to my Windows and now
I can boot my linux distributions from WINDOWS (boot.ini)
All following linux distribution I install using an own partition and
write the boot record to the root partition and add just another entry
in the menu.lst of partition 1.
