I presently have openSUSE 10.2 installed on sdb1,2,3. I'm wanting to
install openSUSE 11.0 on sdc1,2, 3. When I get into the installer and
setup the partitions it still wants to use the swap partition on sdb1.
How can I have separate swap partitions for each version or can I?
I think you need to learn how swap is used. If you create a new swap
partition _both_ installations will _use_ _both_ swap partitions. So if the
first swap partition is large enuf, you do not need to create another.

Thanks. I guess I did not understand how swap was used. I will see if I can enlarge the first one. If not I may delete it and create a new one that will handle both.

It doesn't matter. Swap space is swap space.
