Hello All,
I sure this is an easy one, but figured I should ask. I am reinstalling the latest and greatest Mepis 11 and antiX 11 today on my home PC. So far, I have Mepis 11 already installed on sda1 and will be installing antiX 11 over Mepis 8.5 that resides on sda2. The GRUB bootloader is the current Mepis 11. Can I install antiX on sda2 and not replace the Mepis 11 GRUB?
I have not done this, but it seems like it should work and upon reboot, get to the Mepis Grub and boot into antiX located on sda2.
V/R,
Nats

You can, but you will need to edit MEPIS grub to show antiX on sda2

As long as you install AntiX grub too root instead of MBR on install. Hope you are comfortable editing grub 2 in Mepis 11 to put the AntiX /boot/grub/menu.lst entries in Mepis grub 2. Good luck.
