Hi Group, I am planning to use some applications which works only on top of red hat linux 6.2. Is it possible for me to keep red hat linux 8.0 and 6.2 on the same machine? I am interested in keeping glibc-2.1.3 on my machine which comes with red hat linux 6.2. So this implementation should consider that point.
Youc can have any number of distros / os. I have debian woody 2 installations, rh6.2 (dunno why it's here). and debian sid (incomplete). Create seperate partitions and install. Use grub to boot. Install grub on the mbr with the menu.lst file in the boot partition of the first installation (/dev/hda4 - grub numbers partitions from 0. so 4 is 5 - in my case). Edit this file when you create a new installation. No need to re install grub.
