To illustrate: > > Partition ---- SUSE 9.3 ---- Ubuntu > /dev/hda2 --- /boot --- /suseboot > /dev/hda4 --- /home --- /susehome I dont know if i understand you correctly but if you mean just 'renaming' the mount points *imo* its possible, pwede. But i thought you want to triple boot? Your statement (it seems to me) is to use the same partitions already existing in SUSE. Pano na ang mga datas sa individual partitions? Plus consider the partition sizes. Unless you select not to format the partitions then pwede the datas are intact. To me if you want to triple boot you need to have *separate* partitions for the 3rd OS (i may be wrong though, i know swap can be shared). To me this is the safest bet not to mess up the datas in the existing OS's. > > Thanks in advance for your answers/comments/suggestions. > > Best regards, > Allister > > On 6/11/06, Eri Mendz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 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.
