Hi,
This may be a newbie
question.
May I ask how should I allocate swap
space on
a multiboot Linux distros on one
computer.
Should I allocate one block of swap
space to be use
by all the linux distros on my box or
should
I allocate one swap per distro? And
how about
the grub oor lilo, how can I configure
it to
list all the distros on my
box.
Thanks.

You
don't need to add a new swap partition for each distro. Last time I had two
Linux distros at home all sharing a 512MB swap partition. FREEBSD will not
count on that though since it uses a different file system.
About the
GRUB & LILO, You can opt to use the first GRUB or LILO on the first distro
that you've installed. Just edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst for grub or
/etc/lilo.conf if you're using LILO. Just take note the hard drive entity
where the other distros are located.
