Hi again Israel, I tried again, this time installing a second system into what I installed earlier today, ToriOS into the whole disk. So I used 'Partition drives and install alongside current OS' again, this time into an MSDOS partition table (earlier created by ToriOS), that I edited with gparted. But it failed too. The tarball was installed into partition #3, but the bootloader failed to be installed. Only the previous system was available to boot (and no entry to any system in partition #3). So I repeat: Sorry that I am so negative, but I think we should release ToriOS with the dialog menus for the OBI.
