| | Multi-Booting with LILO |
 | | Boot Manager does that and, as it turns out, LILO can be configured to do the same thing too. | | | This name is then used as the default name of the OS to be booted the next time. | | | LILO is not limited to hiding FAT partitions, nor is it limited to a simple rule for partition hiding. |

| | How-To Dual Boot FreeBSD, Linux, and OpenBSD with GNU Grub |
| | The most common situation for dual or multi booting, is to learn a new OS on a home PC. | | | Where the 1024 limit exists, it is based on the translated values seen and used by fdisk. | | | Much will be applicable to older Red Hat versions and other Linux distributions but the details will vary. |

| | Network Booting a Linux STB with PXE |
| | Mainly, the configuration specifies what tftp server has boot images (next-server), what file they should try to get from the next server (filename) and then there is a section defining every host on the network that should be TFTP booted. | | | However, I detest cluttering my root directory when there are so many other places to put things, so I created /var/tftpboot. | | | Because of the various nonconformities in PXE implementations, some network cards may require specific TFTPD servers. |

| | It should be mentioned that booting from a bad server is a big potential security hole, so one should avoid booting over network connections or from servers that are not physically secure. | | | PXE is a kind of DHCP extension, so all you need is an up-to-date DHCP server and a TFTP server. | | | There are several ways computers can boot over a network, but the one mandated by PC99 is called PXE. |
