I just installed 8.6 on a spare hard drive that I put into my G4 Sawtooth, It now Quad-boots into any of the following:
- Ubuntu 6.10

- Mac OS X 10.1.3

- Mac OS 9.2.2

- Mac OS 8.6.1

I was wondering what everybody thinks of have multiple OS's on there computers
Ubuntu 6.10 is pretty old as versions go... I've actually got 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) installed on a Wallstreet and a Pismo.

The trick, in both cases, was to use the Alternate CD (not the Live one). The Wallstreet was surprisingly easy once I got the right set of BootX options selected. The Pismo was actually a bit harder as I had to manually edit the xorg.conf file.

Getting back to the original topic, the Wallstreet multiboots Panther, 9.2.2, and Ubuntu 9.04. The Pismo multiboots Tiger, 9.2.2 and Ubuntu 9.04, though I want to try and install NetBSD to the spare partition.
