[gentoo-user] Sharing /home and swap

[Andrew Lowe]

Hi all,
	I usually use Gentoo as my "normal" Linux but a third party app I'm 
about to start using only runs on SUSE. To this end, I'm about to set 
aside a smaller partition and install the minimal amnount of SUSE I need 
to run the app. My question is regarding /home and swap. Is there 
anything in my current Gentoo /home and swap that "locks" them to the 
Gentoo install or can I share them between the two installs? What I mean 
by share is that when I boot up Gentoo can I mount /home and swap and 
everything is fully accessible and then reboot into SUSE and once again 
mount them and everything is once again fully accessible?

	I'm not doing anything "snazzy" such as LVM or encryption, just bog 
standard Linux. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

        Regards,
                Andrew
