Rodolfo,

All you need is to create an entry in /etc/fstab. Give it a different mount point. Copy the entry for /home and change it so that the device entry is correct and the mount point is different. Make sure that you create the directory to use as a mount point.

The easier way is to run drakconf and set up the mount point and it will save the changes to /etc/fstab for you!

I you want to have 9.1 as a boot option, you have to fiddle a bit. If you are using lilo as your boot loader, then you need to add an entry for your 9.1 setup. Copy the 9.1 kernel into /boot and run lilo. If you get no errors, then it should work. Make sure that your lilo entry contains the full name of the kernel file, not the shortened link name.

If you created the extra partitions by shrinking windows, you are also going to have to edit /etc/fstab and posible /etc/lilo.conf in the 9.1 partition because the partition numbers changed when you added the new partitions.

Also, another way to boot 9.1 is to boot in the rescue mode with the 9.1 CD, mount the 9.1 partition on /mnt/hda7, and run "chroot /mnt/hda7" Edit /etc/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf. Change the root= section of lilo.conf from "root=/dev/hda" to "root=/dev/hda7". Run lilo.

Reboot to 10.1, and add to /etc/lilo.conf there this:

other=/dev/hda7
        label="MDK-9.1"

Then run lilo. The next time you boot, you will have an option to boot 9.1. Picking this option will bring up the lilo menu you had before installing 10.1.

One other point - unless you are using software suspend, and want to be able to suspend one version of MDK, and start the other, you do not realy need two swap partitions. The two versions of MDK can share a swap partition. (Or use both if you realy need that much swap space.)
