true .... agree with you :)Well actually this is what happened at my workplace
years ago.
Myself to Boss : So you can install as many OSes as
you want right?
Boss to myself : Yes, any number as long as it is less
than or equal to 4
I found it very hard to agree with him but I picked
myself up and moved on. :-)
There are several factors playing here. The OS has to
support booting from a point beyond the scary 1024
cylinder limit. OpenBSD is notorious for that. Though
I think they have fixed that now.
In fact I will first make sure that I really am able
to boot more than 4 OSes by making 4 primary and
remaining logical partitions and test whether the nth
OS that is lying way off from the disk beginning is
able to boot.
These days grub seems to be really popular though grub
also is still lacking in certain things.
Anyway if any of you are successful in booting more
than 4 OSes pls do let me know.
hardly hit us.
