[ILUG] 4 Operating system on laptop

[ILUG] 4 Operating system on laptop

Haven't done Solaris, but I did XP, bsd and redhat in that order.

Don't leave XP till last - it is completely ignorant of other o/s so
overwrites the MBR.

Always have boot disks handy for each o/s in case installing 1 renders the
other un-bootable.

Regards

Matt

Hi,

I just bought a laptop from sony - sony vaio. I want
to install about 4 different OS - default windows XP,
redhat 7.2, freebsd 4.5 and solaris 8. My question is
how do I go about installing all these operating
system? Which come first and last? Any issue I should
aware of? 

Anybody has experience installing all these OS, do you
mind sharing some information, please? Any website
would be great. Thank you in advance.

regards
feroz
