Hi Guiseppe, Thanks for the reply. I gave confusing info in my first post. I resized the 64bit /home to free up about 25GB of space. I used parted> mkpartfs to make a new ext2 partition but that was a mistake. I deleted that partition in the demudi install dialog. Debian-installer then created the second swap partition on sda10 and a new primary / partition on sda3 using the free space. I am not attempting to share any partitions between the two systems. I hope to have two separate OS. I can mount the demudi / on /mnt/demi if need be while using the 64bit OS. I hope to put together a 64-bit system similar to demudi and it would be good to have both OS installed. I will edit both /etc/fstab files as you suggest, Cheers, Norv
