I have wanted to post these instructions for some time, but with the 'imminent' release of MX-25, the time to do so IS NOW !!!
Important Note:
This guide IS NOT for those who want a classic "Dual Boot", i.e., Linux and Windows distros installed on the same machine. For that, see the comprehensive guide by @FullScale4Me : https://fullscale4me.com/Dual-Boot-MX-L ... -Guide.pdf
Another Important Note:
This guide is for UEFI systems only !!!
I have compiled these instructions from a long thread, where @fehlix detailed the procedures to: install multiple MX distros, customize the GRUB menu for each distro, and install an MXPI-available "app" to manage all of the separate distros at machine-boot-time.
I have reviewed this "guide" recently, and used it to set-up my new "testing" rig, which now has 5 MX Distros installed, and where each can be chosen at boot time, using "rEFInd" (see the guide).
So, the guide should be up-to-date, and error free; however, please let me know if you found any errors (even typos), and I will correct them!
Here is the link to the MX-Forum thread, which is also included in the "Guide" itself (see below), where @fehlix guided me through the process of installing and configuring multiple MX Distros:

And, finally, here is the Guide, itself, both in .txt and .odt formats:
- Not sure why there's a "Word" logo on the icon above
- Made with LibreOffice Writer
