Hi All & Johan, I specifically mentioned you Johan because I see in another email that you are doing what I think I want to.
This has probably been discussed countless times on this list (sorry). I am also doing my own searching on the subject, but this is such a great source of info that I thought I'd throw it out there. You can email me directly if you do not wish to clog the list or start a "no it's better this way stupid" flame war. I recently bought a new comp and I want to have multiple OS's installed. In the past I have dual booted Win98/MDK9.x and done so successfully. Now I want to really play. I have XP home edition on an 80gig HD right now. This is what I want to do: I am going to get another HD (160 or 120) I want to run XP, Win98, MDK9.2, SUSE, Debian, RH/Fedora, and I would like to try BSD too (don't know anything about this one so I might nix it). I have never used anything but Mandrake so I wanted to branch out and play My question is how do you divvy up your drives (size wise) and can the Linux distros share any partitions (like swap and Home?) I am still in the planning stages here so any suggestions would be much appreciated. I am asking for real world "this is how I did it" (sizes and order) as well as some sites with some _good_ howto's and what nots. I have found several sites that address the subject but not very well in my opinion. Thanks Russ
