Triple boot advice needed plz.


I have win2k on first partition of 70 gigs,then a linux swap of 4 gigs then a linux reisers fs partition of 65 gigs leaving about 60 gigs onto which I would like to put slamd64.

Do I need to put a swap partition before the new linux partition or would the new linux partition just use the first swap partition by default?

You'll be able to use your existing swap partition with your new distro. When you install it, it should detect that there's a swap partition there and ask you if you want to use it.
