Can SliTaz 5.0-rc2 coexist with SliTaz 4.0 on the same PC?

Since I went ahead with all the updates available for SliTaz 4.0, Grub is now presenting 2 choices during bootup.  A cooking version and what came with the CD-ROM version.  Both appear to be the same Linux kernel version.

64 cent question:

Can SliTaz 5.0-rc2 coexist with SliTaz 4.0 on the same PC?

That is, if I just update with SliTaz 5.0-rc2 (not a new install), then will I be able to boot into SliTaz 4 or SliTaz 5 (my choice)?

Thanks, Rick

Full install multiboot: each version should be installed on it's own partition.

There are more advanced install methods using sub-directory's and loop-mounted filesystems.

In every case you keep the file systems separate by installing them in their own container.
