Call me crazy... 5 OS's on one computer

[JensenDied]

well so far, its got 3 on there so far (Solaris 10, FreeBSD 6.0, and Win XP), i forgot to grab my friends vista trial key so i cant put that on there over xp yet, the mac installer seems to not work. guess i need to find one with a cracked kernel =/

and i havnt put the linux boot on yet, was saving that for last as im sure id have the most sucess putting that on a logical partition as im hoping would be suffecient for the mac boot (if i can get that working).
if i cant get them to install i think im going to try booting into BSD and doing a dd to copy over everything on the drive to the next parttion and seeing if that will boot

"Jensendied"....................yes, from an overdose of stupidity

I don't find many reasons to actually run 5 OSes. But if you are are you intending on doing a full install on each? I would find that interesting. Also the sharing of the HDD space might become interesting.

Just honestly why do you want to run 5 OSes on one box? I don't personally see any point in putting more than 2 oses on one box. That is what having multiple computers or atleast multiple processors is for.

Hey JensenDied

Serious matey, please stay away from betas on your production box..............

Get a spare or two to mess with, but not a beta on anything serious...............
