[ale] 1.3 kernels and multi-linux installs

[Unix Guru Dude]

}> I was wondering how 'dangerous' the 1.3.* kernels are?  I've been considering
}> upgrading to one of them, but was concerned about the state of them.  Any
}> comments?
}>
}
}I generally try to keep up with the nerwer kernels.  I had some minor problems
}with 1.3.8x, but that has all been worked out and the .9x kernels are working
}great.
}
}> Also, has anyone ever had two separate  versions of Linux on the same box?
}> I don't see any reason why it couldn't be done.  I thought I might create
}> another Linux on some unused space I have so that I could get an elf 1.3.*
}> running.  Any reason this couldn't be done?\
}
}I also do excatly that.  I keep an older kernel around just incase the new one
}is screwed up and I don't detect it until too late.  All you do is make the new
}kernel and copy it to /vm.<whatever_you_want>, then edit lilo.conf to match.
} If you want more details on this, let me know.

Actually, I was thinking more of two separate bootable Linux partitions...
