The same swap partition can be used by all three distros. Only one will be running at any given time!
The same /home partition can be used for all three but it is probably essential that each username is for only one distro. In other words, there should be three sets of users, no two of which have any common members. The reason for this is that the individual configuration files (whose names begin with a dot) are different for each distro. I found this out the hard way (with Red Hat and Caldera). This seems a totally safe approach. If not, please share your experience. -----Original Message----- From: Zaheer Mohamed Kozhakkaniyil To: [email protected] Sent: 2/23/2004 3:57 PM Subject: [Mailinglist] Linux installation doubts Hello group, My doubts are: 1. I've 256 MB RAM on my system. Is one /swap partition of 512 MB enough if I plan to install three distros, i.e. for three / native partitions or do I need to have three /swap partitions of 512 MB each ? 2. I wish to have three / native partitions and another partition for /home. Now can this /home partition be common for the three distros ? Thank you.
