Re: Installing More than One Linux on BTRFS Disk

Is there a tutorial for me to read to understand if additional Linux distributions installed on the same device need separate BIOS BOOT and EFI SYSTEM partitions in addition for a separate partition for that added Linux distribution.

I want to have text console accessibility and the two best distributions that do this are Debian and Slint (based on Slackware).

However, Slint being Slackware based leaves big deficiencies in the availability of applications.

But on the other hand, Slint, especially for accessibility, has done an amazing job. Not only are their useful customized scripts to get your system to speak with a certain console screen reader (or not to speak at all), certain screen readers like voxin (both the IBM TTS version and the new Voxin Embedded TTS) install with an easy script, and if emacspeak is desire, it too will be installed and integrated with the IBM TTS engine for emacspeak if desired. I understand that an emacspeak engine for Voxin Embedded TTS is under development and it's hoped that it will be added to Slint.

The sole developer of Slint and Slint's multi language accessibility, Didier Spaier has done an unbelievable job.

In a way, the pity is that it's Slackware, and that distro hasn't kept up with the software needs of it's user base.

However, all those wished for applications and utilities are found in Debian especially if a third-party sources.list generator is used to include non-free software that isn't published in Debian such as multimedia codecs. Debian is starting to keep up with it's user base by finally installing non-free firmware, we can only hope for the non-free libraries that every other Linux distro has.

But we can add those by changing the /etc/apt/sources.list file See https://debgen.simplylinux.ch/

It would be wonderful to have both of these on one device and have the one that is wanted selected at boot time in a grub menu.

Now only if boot up menus were accessible, but perhaps someday they will be.
