Hi Eri, Thanks for the answer. I think I found a good answer here: http://www.suseforums.net/lofiversion/index.php/t13088.html
Another question, is it possible for the same partition to have different mount point names in different distros? To illustrate: Partition ---- SUSE 9.3 ---- Ubuntu /dev/hda2 --- /boot --- /suseboot /dev/hda4 --- /home --- /susehome Thanks in advance for your answers/comments/suggestions.

Hi Allister, I'm no guru but bottom line with dual-boot is you have to plan *ahead* your partition details and everything before you proceed with installation. Since you have XP and Suse already, it is likely you're using the boot manager of Suse to switch systems. Now if you dont want to mess that during the ubuntu install just choose the option (during ubuntu install) to put the boot loader in the floppy. I think this is your best shot to preserve your system. Pag gusto mo ubuntu saksak mo lang ang floppy drive at setup mo bios mo magboot sa floppy drive tapos! Pag ayaw mo na di balik sa dating gawi, boot as normal. Sounds simple right? Goodluck :-) p.s. I'm just recalling what i did few years back. Now i dont dual boot anymore. Andyan na mga live cd's kasi. They make you lazy. On Sun, 11 Jun 2006 18:49:10 +0800 "Allister Levi Sanchez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi PLUG gurus, > > I'm now itching to install (multi-boot?)
