I'm using Mandrake for almost a year now (10.1 version); 
everything's working well (java, netbanking, acrobat reader, 
   mozilla plugins etc).

I know saying "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it", but 
I'd like to test mandrive 2006 anyway.

Is it possible to create a "triple boot system":

Existing system:

Hardware:

PIII computer 733MHZ
HDA:
1 partition Windows 2000
1 partition mandrake 10.1 + swap
1 partition for data

HDB:
1 partition for data


1/
Can I install mandriva 2006 on HDB?
What about LILO? Will I have 3 boot option at startup? Do I 
have to configure something special?

2/
Is mandriva 2006 any good for this configuration? It's only 
a PIII ....
Will it slow things down to much?

What's your experience with M2006 so far?


Thanks in advance for your suggestions.


Oeps!?
