Thanks for your comment. I guess I have explained in this article pretty many cases where I found this method useful. Things do not always happen the ideal way--I personally never wanted to touch my Xandros while trying many other distros in the triple booting way. With LILO, things aren't that simple. As I explained, editing the LILO config file didn't work. And there is not much high-quality documentation on LILO accessible online.
Ofcourse, things would work pretty well if you tried triple booting when both distros use GRUB only. But that isn't the case with everybody.
But, in the end, simpler ways might exist. But I know it by experience that things do not always happen automatically when triple booting's concerned. This method is for those wretched times.
And yes, I have spent considerable time with both LILO and GRUB.
