I'm trying to install Suse 9.3 as a second linux install. My current HD setup is as follows...

OK guys, thanks. What I did as a temp fix was to move some stuff off of HDA1 and freed up about 3GB space, made a primary partition HDA2 and did the install there. Not enough space there to put all the stuff I want to, but it is enought to test out how 9.3 runs on this box. I left HDB alone for now. Worked OK. This is on my 266mhz PII server. Its a little slow, but with the default KDE install it seems at least as fast as 8.2. Not bad. I suppose what I should do on the next clean install is make home on a primary partition, and put all others on extended partitons. Does this difference affect speed in any way? Also, how would I uninstall one of these installations? Do I simply delete the hdx and change the grub entry? Many thanks, -- Jim Flanagan linuxjim@jjfiii.com
