Hello,

I Have a Dell-inspiron on which i have partitioned 50GB of the disk to Linux. I have vista installed on the first 200G & fedora installed on the rest 20G. Now i am trying to install OpenSuse with the left over space of around 30GB which is free.
When i start the installation process. I get a message that a /boot already exists.
Should i use the same /boot and swap partitions ? for any number of OS i install ?
I didnt want to take chances to overwrite it, since i was afraid of loosing the data in Windows ;-)

I am a Newbie & just want to see/learn different Linux distros. There is no specific reason for me to have 2/3 linux OS . This is just for learning.



Thanks in advance!

You could use them if you wish. Personally I don't bother with a separate /boot partition when multi booting, but I use the same swap space.
