Owen,

Thanks for the reply - Do you mean dual boot isn't possible from the 
same partition or dual boot isn't possible at all? (It would have 
kinda been nice to know that prior to compiling a multi-lib clfs build :-) )

 From the ydl forum ps3 section, at least one user has managed to set 
up a ydl / fedora dual boot with ydl and fedora on different 
partitions, apparently using the yaboot.conf pasted below (maybe 
fedora also modifies kboot?)

Since I'd love to keep ydl, but also experiment with some other clfs 
type stuff - is there another way to dual boot using yaboot, 
petitboot, kboot, whatnot?

Thanks
John
