Is this some sort of world record? :-) I've never thought of records, but at work (for testing purposes), I've crammed (arguably) 6 OSes into 3 partitions on a single drive. They are: DOS622 (+NetWare client; not a _real_ OS, but I'm counting it anyway), WfW311 (ditto), Win95, NT351, Warp, and UnixWare21. The Powers That Be don't have FreeBSD or other OSes on their radar screens, else I'd try to put on more. My home system has only four OSes spread luxuriously :-) over 3 drives (4 GB total). They're booted (both home and work) by OSBS and in some cases, the NT loader. --Gary Hanson
