They've changed the installer a few times recently so I'm a bit behind, but it will certainly overwrite your mbr onthe key, so it will only boot Slax. You may be able to edit the isolinux.cfg to have other options, but I'm not sure. I've only ever used one at a time. __________________ Registered Linux user #378740 New members read here / Forum Rules #linuxforums on irc.freenode.net

I dont know that for sure, just a guess.
