Good Day All . . .

It seems to take me an awful long time to get my system reconfigured with extra programs after I upgrade. So, I want to try something new. It may help me see what is missing sooner.

I use three partitions (/, /home and /swap) for one distro. I want a dual boot to the old and the new distro upgrade on one hard drive. I know nothing about dual booting.

I am planning - Distro Old (/, /home, /swap) & Distro New (/, /home, /swap).

Now the questions.

Can I share the /swap partition between the old and new distro.

I know I cannot share different versions of KDE so would anyone suggest
(/, /home, /, /home, /swap, /personal)
where Distro New is the first / and /home with the /swap & /personal
where Distro Old is the second / and /home with the /swap & /personal.

This means six partitions assuming that I can share the /swap.

Anyone offer a better configuration choice?

Thanks.

Thank You for the reply eldacar.

Yea, I was thinking about the /home issue but each distro does so much 'damage' to KDE that even the same version may be sufficiently different to cause problems.

Again, Thank You
