Is a triple boot possible???

[xaviers2002]

I'm trying to install knoppix as a third booting OS, but i am having trouble because of LILO. Knoppix seems to be the only OS in the system.
What can I do?

Why not ?? I've 3 OS on my ThinkPad T41 (WinXP, Knoppix, FreeBSD)
and use LILO as standard booter .. sometimes more OS (OpenBSD, NetBSD).

Just simply setting up two records on /etc/lilo.conf , such as:
----------------------- CUT ------------------
device /dev/hda2
label="Knoppix"
device /dev/hda4
label="FreeBSD"
----------------------- CUT ------------------
and run the booter again (must become superuser):

# lilo <enter>

.. to add new partitions on MBR.

What can I do?

Learn about lilo; edit your /etc/lilo.conf, then run "lilo -v" and pay attention to possible error messages.

Post some more details (which OS's are you trying to multiboot, which partitions are they living in, how does your lilo.conf currently look like... ) if you need assistance.

You might also want to check out grub (grand unified boot-loader)
http://www.openbg.net/sto/os/xml/grub.html
Some users find grub easier to configure and amend.
I have ten unixes booting from my three hard drives.

What about GAG?

http://gag.sourceforge.net/

Works for dual booting, and there are options for up to 8 drives and however many partitions on each... Why not?
