[nikhiltheprince]

Hi I have Lindows 4.0 installed on my system and I also have Linspire

4.5.397 on CD I want both Linspire and Lindows to be installed on my

system as dual boot configuration
I also know that they are of both same make and build but differ only in names and build versions I want them to be installed on my system as dual boot configuration with Lindows 4.0 being the default OS
Let me know how do I configure the boot loader in Lindows 4.0 and Linspire 4.5 .Is there a way out I can make out this please quote to me at nikhiltheprince@hotmail.com

No Sree Not that its Licensed ,but what to do even am an Linux hard core fan had been into it foe quiet 2 years now .Now even Lindows confuses me with its licensing policy actually Its something like Windows License for Linux.Ok Do you want to have it and if u can download that hectic one CD download then update here ur quotes so that I can personally send u link.

Well I dont have answer for your question nikhiltheprince. But I havent used linspire or lindows yet. But if it is same as the other linux distributions (lilo & grub works) then I assume that you use lilo then goto /etc/lilo then try to find out the place where the boot image is installed it should be something like

/disks/mylinuxdistribution/boot/vmlinuz

then add these line
image=/disks/mylinuxdistribution/boot/vmlinuz
label=mylinux (nospaces)
root=/dev/hdc9( the root of that distribution)

then take terminal and run lilo.
You should success. Then reboot you must see the new one.

Ok if you are looking for a linux distribution for a n00b than try Xandros(open circulation edition) its good and free now
