Would some kind soul please advise me how to repartion my hard disc to enable multi Linux distro booting?
The current lay out of my partion table is as follows...
/
/dev/shm
/home
/tmp
/usr
/var
How should this be modified?
TIA

Tony, I have several Linux distros and 2 Windows installs on my 160GB disk. Depending on the size of your hard disk, you could use GParted to shrink partitions thereby creating space for another. I started with a new disk, created 8 20GB partitions, and installed in this order, Windows XP, Vista, and Fedora Core 6. Later, I added Debian, Mandriva and Ubuntu. I have 2 partitions available to install others if I wish. Fedora handles the booting nicely through the use of GRUB.
