Rep Power: 2 | Why dont you try vmware player? But it requires good computer configuration. No need to install OS and you run multiple OS parallely Go thr this. VMware Player: Run Multiple Operating Systems with Free Download for a Virtual PC - VMware |

Rep Power: 1 | You have to edit and change the grub's menu.lst file (found in /boot/grub) so that it will appear in the boot menu. Some distros like Mandriva 2009 will automatically add the other flavour already installed to its boot menu so need to do that manually. |
