How to Install Two Linux Operating Systems in One Hard Drive?

Is it necessary for you to install two Linux operating systems? As we all know that installing two Linux operating systems is not easy for a lot of people, not to mention those laymen in computer. I will introduce a way about how to install it.

1.At first, put the file of Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso files into a Windows Fat32 partition ((hd0, 4)) and then place isolinux in iso into (hd0, 4).

2. Entering the Fedora 8 Linux system and appending the following into the file / boot / grub / grub.conf:
title install linux FC9
root (hd0, 4)
kernel / isolinux / vmlinuz
initrd / isolinux / initrd.img

3. To re-start the machine and select [install linux FC9]. Then the Fedora9 installation can be opened, but when you are asked to choose the installation source media, you should select the hard disk.

Description:

1. (Hd0, 4) is the grub's partition number to the hard disk, and hd which is used by IDE and SCSI is standing for the hard disk. O represents the first hard disk, while 4 stands for the fifth region.
2. After entering Fedora9 system, you had better transfer Fedora8 start configuration parameters into the file grub.conf in Fedora9.
