I want to set up a multiple "mode" computer with four separate Centos installations on it. The objective here is to have a "spare computer" that I can boot up into any of four "modes" depending on what I'm swapping it in for a the moment. For example, I want to be able to boot it up as a webserver, or as a fileserver, or as a LTSP-enabled application server. And so on. I have a computer here with two 300GB hard drives in it, which I plan to split into four 150GB partitions, one for each of my "modes". And I want to install Centos separately and independently into each partition, so I can just tell Grub to boot up using whatever partition I choose. What is the best way to accomplish this? I have a bad feeling that the drive partitioning tool is going to complain about having multiple / partitions unless I take steps to avoid that. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
