<br>So, I have a question for the group. I've been thinking about partitioning, and experimenting on a desktop that doesn't have anything I'd consider valuable on it. I got to trying this idea of sharing partitions, for example, mount a different logical part for /home, /root, etc...etc... At first I even tried having both distros use the same boot. (In retrospect, not my brightest moment.) But I seriously came to wonder, Why couldn't they use the same swap? System wouldn't run them both at the same time, so they wouldn't need to share!<br>
<br>By product of all this experimentation, is that I've been getting lots of different kinds of errors of different forms, things not initializing right. Elements of the shell not initializing...etc.... I wanted to ask, which partitions can belong to more then one distro? If any? And does it need to be a physical or logical part? I realize I could save myself allot of hassle if I'd pick one distro and just run it, but I tend to enjoy the linux buffet. Sample a little of everything.<br>
<br>To put this in perspective, the main schema I'd been using for most of the day. #1) physical - 250mb /boot, #2) physical 2048mb swap, #3) logical 120GB root, #4) logical 500GB home, #5 logical 120 GB root 2nddistro home<br>
<br>Going to try to come to the meeting this month, seeing as how I spend all day working with ESX, it doesn't make sense for me to miss a clue meeting on virtualization!<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Mike Bean<br>
