Explanation of hard disk installation of two Linux operating systems

If you are a Linux enthusiast and are studying Linux recently, have you ever thought about installing two Linux systems on one hard disk, this article describes how to install two operating systems on one hard disk.

A hard disk has a Fedora 8 Linux system installed and grub boot management program installed. You need to install Fedora 9 in the free partition of the hard disk as follows:

1. Put the Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso file to the root directory of a Windows Fat32 partition hd0, 4), decompress the isolinux directory in this iso file to a more directory hd0, 4 );

2. Go to the Fedora 8 Linux system and add the following content to the file/boot/grub. conf:
Title install linux FC9
Root hd0, 4)
Kernel/isolinux/vmlinuz
Initrd/isolinux/initrd. img

3. Restart the machine and select [install linux FC9] to enable the Fedora9 installation program. When you need to select a media installation source, select the hard disk.

Note:
1. hd0, 4) is the number of the hard disk partition in grub. hd indicates the hard disk. hd indicates both IDE and SCSI. 0 indicates the first hard disk and 4 indicates the fifth partition;

2. If grub is updated during the installation of Fedora9, the grub startup selection menu is subject to those in Fedora9. It is best to update grub because the grub STARTUP configuration parameters of Fedora9 are different from those of Fedora8. After entering the Fedora9 system, update the startup configuration parameters of Fedora8 from the original grub. conf to the grub. conf file in the Fedora9 file.

3. When a hard disk is installed on a second Linux system, a new advantage is the ability to share swap partitions.
