Second Linux OS on second HD
 

I have Debian Sarge 3.1 on my first HD and I'd like to install Fedora C2 on my second hard drive, does anyone know of any gotcha? Any suitable howto?

I tried it some time ago and got into problems but I can't remember precisely what it was.
These 2 drives are formatted exactly the same with 14 partitions each and I have a vague recollection that the problem was about the swap partitions (one on each drive), at the time, I had FC2 on drive 1 and was trying to install Debian on drive 2.

Any help most appreciated.

Just specify the partitions on the second drive for your Fedora install and simply use only one swap partition for either, no need to waste space on both drives for space easily usable in each while only one is running.

Thank you. I will do that.

5Gb partition per distro is what I used for Debian and Fedora.

Usually a distro would latch on the Swap without the user intervention. It may ask the user's permission to format it though.

You can put any number of Linux in the same disk. My first IDE disk hda has 60 partitions is now fully populated with distros.

Thank you for the info, I've just completed the install and I'm answering through FC2.

I've got 2 x 80G drives, I've allocated 5G for /var and 4G for /usr and 512MB for swap but it shouldn't be used much, I have 768MB ram.
