    Well Hello, I'm considering adding another distro to my HDD(Dream Linux, Vixta.org, or Zenwalk) and I'd like to know if I can install Zenwalk without LILO(as it is an option in the installation) and if GRUB(from Ubuntu) will be able to boot it.
    Also, anyone used Draco Linux?
    Thanks!

    Yes and Yes. You only need to set it up in grub.

    OK, I can do that via the GRUB.conf file right?

    Yup. Thats the easy way. the hard way is in the grub shell. NEVER USE THE GRUB SHELL UNTIL YOU NEED TO!

    Until you realize that you need the uuid of the disk drive for some odd reason.
