I have a practical difficulty in switching to another distro or 
linuxfromscratch. I need this PC for real work, so I can't afford for it to 
be 'down' while I learn how to install or manage a new distro.

I have several GB spare on the disk on this PC. With a little effort I could 
make this into a separate, empty, partition. Is it possible to make the PC 
dual boot with existing RH installation untouched and alternative of a new 
Mandrake or linuxfromscratch installation, while I experiment with it?  (RH 
uses grub boot manager.)  Or I could add a second disk for the new 
installation. Would that make it easier, other than the obvious 
simplification of not needing to shuffle partitions on the existing disk?

Regards
John
