How to Install Linux Only on Separate HDDS

[pepper]

Dear Forum Family - Would like to know how to go about installing Separate Linux Distros on Separate Hard Drives and be able to select the Distro upon booting?

Yes, you've probably seen my similiar posts concerning this matter. I have Ubuntu EMC2 & BDI Linux EMC2 that I would like to have fresh installation on one PC??

The Ubuntu is version 6.06 EMC2 & BDI is Version 4.51 EMC2. Quite frankly, I'm rather embarassed that I haven't been able to fiqure this out and bothering all you wonderful folks.

I have no trouble finding rather thorough instructions for Windows & Linux. It appears there is not quite as much available with Dual Linux Distro System. With that said, your assistance concerning this matter is always appreciated.

The Installation CD's work nicely as I can them to install. (Hint) However, I'm not familiar with Druid and not sure of how to configure the Grub/MBR correctly. Consequently upon startup only one Distro OS shows up.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and support.

Kindest Regards,
Pete

if you have both of them installed, and the grub bootloader only detected one of them, what you can do is boot into the one that you can load, then mount the partition for the other OS, then copy the menu.lst file contents that pertain to the booting of that OS to the menu.lst file on the system that can currently be booted.

I'd better clear up the fact that since I have no idea of how to check to see if they are both really installed. I know Ubuntu is the only one on start up interface. Will be starting out as a fresh boot for each again and work either with Auto Configuration or with the Gruid/Grub configurations. That's a good question?? Maybe I'll get some tips on where to go and how to check to see if both may be present. Pretty New at this, so I just may start all over at square 1. Thank you!
