Do you mean this literally, or does the standard grub menu come up? If
so, do you have any pointers on how to do this? I could do with having
an option of A for Windows, B for Linux Hoary and maybe C for a test
breezy system. With a 160 GB disk I have plenty of room for multiple
systems!

Why wouldn't separate partitions on a single drive provide the same
degree of protection? Could a Linux system trash a whole disk?

Tony.
