I attempted to set up a four-distro installation on a computer. I set up about eight different partitions, including a 1Gb /boot. There was also one /home, a swap, and a bunch of 10Gb partitions. I paid little heed to whether things were logical or extended partitions. I went through the installation four times, putting a different distro (Fedora, OpenSUSE, kubuntu, ubuntustudio) with it's "/" in a different 10Gb partition.
I ultimately failed to get a multi-boot system. For most of the distro installations, there was a warning suggesting that I was mistaken in choosing not to format the /boot partition. For Fedora (which I installed first), it seemed to have a very intelligent approach to the unused partitions and asked me to name them for the /boot's sake. (IIRC). Q: Any tips on how to go about this? -- Greg M.
