Hello, the process should be quite straightforward. 1st u need to make sure you have a free partition with no relevant data on it (partition to instal RH). then you simply start installing RedHat on the machine and (this is the critical part) make absolutelly sure you tell the installer to choose the correct partition (the partition you choose for RH will be formated and any data in it will be lost). in the end you can choose to instal the bootloader (GRUB possibly) and it will detect you have Debian too and do all the magic for you. grub usually does a very good job finding you other operatin systems and automagically configuring the dual-boot... It's usually a very simple process with no expert knowledge involved. Just make sure you know exactly which is the partition that is empty when the RH installer asks you to format the disk. you need to be 100% sure of this. If you're not just power off the machine. also make sure GRUB (or LILO, I0'm not sure) is installed in the end. The normal installation process should probably do this for you. Just read the messages. there should be no problem. But... just in case... make a backup of all you important stuff in Debian.

No, I'm not a Redhat fanboy, just had the luxury of deploying a couple hundred RHEL based Xen servers into a grid. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You can also, if you have them partitioned separately, share filesystems. I used to do that back in the day, with Slackware 2.x and RH 3.0.3. It's just a matter of mounting the appropriate filesystem to the mount point. You could probably still do the same with if you are using lvm, as long as you don't get a namespace collision, e.g. both systems don't use vg00 for the volume group name. That said, as an earlier poster said, if you have the resources, use a virtual machine. --b On Tue, Aug 3, 2010 at 7:52 AM, hadi motamedi <motamedi24(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Dear All > On my debian machine, I need to install redhat on one of its partitions and > so make it dual boot .
