Also, is it possible to have a single swap partition for the 2 installs of openSUSE (without confusing grub between the 2 installs of openSUSE)? The present swap partition is on HD # 2, for the openSUSE 11.1 operating system.
Use the same swap file for all your Linux installations, regardless of version. It is erased on boot, anyway, there is no shared data. The only circumstance for having different swaps would be because you hibernate one and restore another, which is a no-no - unless you know what you are doing while you aim a loaded gun to your foot.
PS: HD # 1 has Windows XP, with grub on MBR. GRUB is used to boot into Windows XP as well.
Keep that grub in MBR, and tell the second Linux to install its grub in its own root partition. Then, in the first grub you load the second grub: title Secondary grub root (hd0,7) configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst Of course, adapt that "(hd0,7)" to your settings. (You can also add another entry in the second grub to go to the first one). The advantage of having the second grub separate is that YaST and updates will not mess with your other grub. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
