Hi List,
i put together a mini-howto on cloning a XP-installation and
making the
clones multibootable.
The idea is to copy (using ntfsclone) a fresh/clean
XP-installation to
two additional partitions on the same HD. The new ones
should then get
customised for special purposes like gaming or testing
stuff. Then i'd
like to create some images of these XP-clones so that i can
easily reset
them if^Wwhen they get messed up.
I got stuck two times trying to achieve this. The first time
Anton
Altaparmakov - i gues he's well known around here  - gave me
some
good advice in the linux-ntfs.org-forum.[1]
And after being on the wrong track several times for several
weeks i
found some very useful Information on Dan Goodells
website[2]. In his
excellent text: Understanding Multibooting[3]
Since i had some difficulties finding the info and my setup
doesn't seem
_that_ exotic to me i thought that it would be worth the
effort to
write a mini-howto about the whole procedure.
I put it up at [4]
Comments welcome. Please CC me since i'm not on the list.
Cheers
Michael
