But maybe it is meanth for simple users? I myself *need* more partitions, to test also. Now i want to see how the new 11.0 installs, but i have an updated factory. I do not want to overwrite that, nor the working 10.2, that is around, and can be used if all others fail, which sometimes happens... /boot i have seperate, and that keeps all the nessesary files for all the platforms...(until now, this saved me lots of trouble..) /home can also be mounted to several platform versions, if one does not have the space for seperate different /home partitions...(having a recent back-up, just in case, might sometimes not be such a bad idea afterall..:) - -- Have a nice day, M9.
