You're going to have problems with Gnome, not sure about KDE. Gnome keeps its desktop layout in a bunch of files in hidden directories, and those changed between RH9 and FC3. FC3 might be backward compatible, but don't bet on RH9 working after you share the home directory with FC3. I had a ton of problems with RH9 and FC1 and that was supposed to be a simple upgrade. You could consider renaming the Gnome directories to something else and then letting the new install create new directories and files. Then rig a script to swap back and forth depending on which OS you are running. Gus -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
