Linux

Hi,

This will be my first time to install 5 distros in one box, the ff. are:

openSUSE 11, openSUSE11.1, Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 8.10, Fedora 10

Now, I'm confused how would I partitioned my hard disk with a capacity of 80Gb where there is only one swap and no idea yet how to play with boot loader. And if someone can suggest a partitioning that would be great.
BTW, I'm installing for standard systems. Are there any related thread like this in this forum, please let me know.

Anybody could walk me through this matter, I highly appreciate it.

Thank You.

Ok, which time-traveler did you snag this one off?

The easy way: one swap partition (about the amount of RAM you have), one partition for each distri (about 5-8G, depending on how much you want to install), one big /home partiton shared by all. Pick one to be the boot-master and let that one manage GRUB.

The complex way: As above, but with an additional /boot partiton, shared by all. Only one GRUB config to maintain, but could create problems if 2 distris try to install different kernels using the same name.

it should be Ubuntu 8.10. My mistake.
