Hi, I suffered too, when I tried (very long ago), those multi-os issues, but because I didn't even tried back then to understand what was going on, bootloader settings, bootloaders installation options, and so on. Not prepared for the paradigm. This is going to be a long run. If I have to give up, I'll give up, but I don't have dedicated Hardware/disks for each OS, as you tell in your experiences, unless, as you point, virtualization. That is not a bad idea, but, somehow, limited, depending on your final use of the OS. > > I could do all automatic, but I'm those that prefer to do manually > > knowing what I'm doing.

Sure :) Thanks for your thoughts :) Regards.
