Hi List,

Thank you both for your assistance. I thought the numbers refered to the
order in which the OS's were prioritized for booting, but wanted to make
sure I was going to do it right and still be able to boot one of them.

I had this;
/dev/hda7 / ext2 defaults 2 2

Alexander showed me this mount point;
/dev/had7 /mnt/exchange ext2 defaults 2 2

I thought the mount point was an important distinction.

Also if I were to add a 3rd Linux OS to fstab could it look like this?

/dev/hda5 / ext2 defaults 1 1             <----first
/dev/hda7 /mnt/exchange ext2 defaults 2 2 <----second
/dev/hda8 /mnt/exchange ext2 defaults 3 3 <----third
?

Of particular interest to me is the `mounting point'? And if there were 
three ext2 OS's would they have to appear in numerical descending order in
my fstab? Or do I have the liberty to adjust and customize their booting
orders NOT based upon their partition number? In other words could I make
/hda8 boot first and hda5 boot third?

Thanks ever so much,

mrweb
