I would assume there would be 3 /home, 3 /, and 3 swap partitions on the<br>
machine. Both Grub and Lilo "should" be able to handle that, not?<br>
As long as I keep track of where all the /boots are and what files are called.<br>
The respective fstabs could give access to the other /homes, calling then by<br>
different names for each OS, or am I wrong.</blockquote><div><br>Yes you can do that but it is a pain. I would suggest not opening all 3 /home directories from each OS and just create an additional partition called /data to house what you want to share between OS. You should be about to use the same swap partition for all 3 also. /data could also be 1 of the home directories if you wanted to.<br>
