Dual booting Linpus & UNR?

[simbeb]

I am reselling my A110 as I've bought a A150. I would like to offer a dual boot install of Linpus and UNR on the one I am selling. Has anyone tried that? Is it as simple as installing Linpus, then installing UNR and let it manage the booting of both OSes?

Cheers.

Should be straightforward. I've got a triple-boot on AAO with 120GB hard drive.

Procedure in my case: second system I loaded was Linux Mint. During installation, set Linpus partition to 30GB, and programme did the rest, giving a dualboot. Then installed Ubuntu UNR,dividing the rest of HD between Mint and UNR. Installation then automatically set up the triple boot.

There was some command-line work to do to get both Mint and UNR working with wi-fi. Both also work well with T-mobile dongle (Huawei 220) - which was my 'beef' with Linpus.

Now, I use UNR when out and about (fast booty up; economical on battery),and Mint when power point is handy and I want to use GIMP, audio/video and other software. Don't know why I keep Linpus - but it works fine except for above-mentioned problem with dongle...

Thank you peteros. I thought nobody was going to respond to such a simple question!

Cheers.

I have been running first double boot Linpus /Kuki and now Linpus /UNR on a 120 GB HDD. No problems whatsoever.
