I started a new thread for this, rather than my usual bad habit of hijacking someone else's 8^)... I've thought about doing that. I'd have to repartition, because I didn't plan for it when I installed 10.1. There are a couple of issues that bother me too: 1. Does the 2006 installer allow dual boot with older versions of Mandriva, or will it just assume that it should overwrite the older version? 2. Can I share the same /home partition, or will different version of kde accessing the same home cause havoc? #2 in particular sounds troublesome, based on past messages about problems with the .kde directory. I suspect I'd need some custom boot/login logic that would redirect appropriately. For example, I could have a .kde10.1 and a .kde2006, and have the login processing create a .kde symbolic link to the appropriate one. Have you (or anyone else out there) done something like this? Is there any directory other than .kde that's likely to cause problems? -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
