[Glastonbury] Boot on the other Drive [was: Downgrading with apt-get]

[tim hall]

Hi all,

Just to follow up.

I managed to set up the other drive on hdb very nicely thanks to Andy's help. 
I've installed DeMuDi-1.0-Agnula on hda on top of woody, which all works 
nicely.

I'm now installing testing + demudi development sources onto hdb and I've set 
up chroot terminals on tty8 and tty9 (X) So I can now flip between the two 
distros without rebooting. It makes X a little slow in places, but both 
flavours so far seem to have equal access to resources, they are both mounted 
on /mnt in each others directory trees. Ooh I think I've gone all recursive!
It turned out to be one of the simpler things I'd ever tried to configure.

I highly reccomend Agnula for multimedia sources.

cheers
