[GRLUG] 64 bit Linux and CPUs

[rh90p at comcast.net]

I tried that a while back and couldn't get it to go.  I did get Windows, FreeBSD, and Linux working at the same time (do a manual partiton and install in that order). There was a special hack to the grub to get it to go but I can't remember how that went - I figured it out without too much difficulty by reading either the FreeBSD docs or the grub docs. 

It seems like you should be able to install another Linux to a second / partition and manually edit the grub config but for some reason I couldn't get it to work.  I was trying Fedora and SuSE.  I ended up used separate disks in removable enclosures to get it done.
