« on: April 23, 2010, 12:26:43 AM »
It's possible to coexist in the same PC Pclos2009 and PcLos 2010?
I not can be able to do: Pclos 2009 start, but Pclos 2010 not. Pclos 2010 start only from liveCD, the installation go OK, but after the reboot do not start (fireworks of errors and no graphical, but only treminal, if I do startx: error [no file in dev/mem].
Thank you

You should be able to have separate installations of 2009 and 2010 on different partitions or drives. You many have to edit the grub menu.lst file in /boot/grub to make it work. I would recommend first installing 2009, then 2010 and letting it install grub to the MBR. It may find 2009. If not, just add it to 2010s grub menu.lst. If you don't know how to do this, search the forum; there's many posts about solving this problem. How did you set up your installation? We need to know so that we can help you.
