Prashant, go ahead and install away to your primary. Mandrake will see your existing partitons and you may feel free to use your /home and any other as you see fit. If you like you can place your / (root) /usr, /usr/local and whatever else on your primary and leave your /home on the slave. that'll work out just fine. you'll be fine as long as you don't format the partitions you want to keep. daRcmaTTeR
