Thanks, Joshua. This appears to be the easiest way to add multiple OSs. I installed gag and added another Linux OS parition in no time.

I know that I use a tool called GAG to boot mutliple OSes from assorted locations, and it has always worked very well for me. http://gag.sourceforge.net/ HTH, -- Joshua Lokken Open Source Advocate --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
