more than one fallout 2 installed?

[ufo_hunter]

Hi,
Is it possible to have more than one installation of F2 on one computer? Just asking because i'd like to have more than one mod installed and playable w/out having to remove re-install all the time...?

Yes. I did this to keep my stock game and the Restoration Project on at the same time. Best to keep them in entirely separate directories, however. I had a friend who tried to juggle it all in one for ease of space, and things got wacky in his RP game.

Falche and similar editors might get confused since they get the save directory from the registry.

But technically it is possible to install F2 to different directiries/partitions and they should work ok?

I don't see why not. But depending on how mods are set up, "installing" and "uninstalling" them may be as easy as moving or renaming a dat file, so I don't even know if multiple installs are necessary (except as a convenience if you have plenty of space anyway).
