Quadruple boot with OpenSolaris, openSUSE, Fedora and Ubuntu

Hello, obsessive nuts (meaning myself). I just had to do it to see if quadruple boot is possible...

1. Install OpenSolaris

2. Install openSUSE. Create the boot USB drive using UNetBootIn (Let it download from the net, do not use the pre-downloaded iso) . Use the USB to boot, choose the network http installation.

http address: http://opensuse.cs.utah.edu
Directory: /distribution/11.1/repo/oss/

Delete all the LVM group thing, create a new ext3 partition and mount it to /. And create a swap area which is double of the ram size (4GB in my case)

3. Install Fedora 10, create a new ext parition and mount it to / again. And it will use the swap created in the previous step.

4. Install Ubuntu 8.10.
