boot camp and multiple systems?

Hi there!
Is there a way to install more systems using boot camp?
For example, maxOS, xp, vista, gentoo???

How can I do that? I have macOS and XP, but what if I want to have one more?

MBP 2,0:D, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

You can install Windows Vista beta using bootcamp, and some linux systems. I have not done it yet as it takes too much work (in my mind).

Here is how to install Linux

and here is how to insall Vista here

Hi,
thanks for the response, but my problem is hot to install all those systems at ONCE! - to have option to run for example one of four of them.

Thanks

You can not do it. Bootcamp will only allow OSX and one other OS installed at once. You can use Parallels to run as many OS's as you like in a virtual machine however.

By the way Mark, in case you've tried it before, how is the performance of Vista under MacBook Pro? Any known problems/defects?

I'm new here if this is a silly question or have been asked before

MacBook Pro 15" 2.0 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)
