Since I moved from Mandrake 7.1 to 7.2 I have been frustrated because I cannot get cups (the printing subsystem in 7.2) to work for me. I would therefore like to go back to ver 7.1 until I work things out in 7.2 However I hate removing Mandrake 7.2 altogether. Is it possible to have 2 linux versions (or distributions like RH) installed on the same PC without messing things up? I have 4 OSs on this PC so I know all about separate partitions and booting separately into them, etc. What I do not know is what I need to do to keep 2 linux versions separate from each other. What partitions I can keep to share between the two and what need to be separate. Do I just need a separate root partition for the 7.1 distribution and can keep my other partitions? Presently I have 7.2 installed in 5 partitions: /, /home, /opt, /usr/local plus swap partition Any advice? Thanks. Jeff Malka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Registered Linux user 183185
