Hi, I'm going to re-install a Linux-machine (my home-server). This time I would like to be able to install e.g. a next vesion of Suse but keep the old one available (with maybe a third OS, no Win though). This time I'm going to put in a new disk and keep the old one to be able to switch back until all is OK. But in the future it will be 1 disk. I have a few questions regarding this all. Is there a how-to somewhere I can follow ? What's a good partitioning scheme ? swap (of course) /boot ? size ? / /home others ? Is Suse (10.0 and 10.1) able to modify Grub automatically or will I have to edit the menu manually ? Any other comments ? Thanks for any input. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong
