[olug] multiple OS's On 2 disks

[Nathan Brown]

Great !!!! thanks!!!!!

This is how my system is setup now .... maybe it's wrong and you could
suggest something else too

/hda            4 G
/hda1                        Windows 98 ........ the whole drive


/hdc              30  G
/hdc1            0 - 3735  G   28,6 G     My multiple linux drive
Extended
/hdc5            0 - 2         23.5 M        Linux
RedHat  /boot
/hdc6            1024 - 2043    7.8 G        Linux                  RedHat
/
/hdc7            2044 - 2056    101.9 M     Linux                Swap
/hdc8               2057 - 3076    7.8 G         Linux                SUSE /
/hdc9            3 - 5                  23.5 M        Linux
SUSE  /boot

hdc1 is extnded and hdc5 6 7 8 9 are all logical drives .


do i even need the /boot partitions?  one swap seems to work well.


Thanks Nate
