A friend it going to install 2 or 3 flavors of Linux with XP on one drive. He is under the impression that the linux installations can share the same /boot partition and I haven't found any data either way. Does anybody know if this will work? Has anybody tried this?
Doable, yes. Recommended, only for those experienced in manual fixup of Grub and its config files who can remember to do so after every update affecting boot files. Better to put only one distro on /boot, and the rest on their own respective / partitions. As mentioned elsewhere, updates will not produce pleasant results. But, manual intervention can get the determined around those problems. -- Felix Miata *** http://fm.no-ip.com/
I agree. I myself would have a /boot for each flavor or just skip that and use just / (root) for each and maybe share a /home for the user and maybe a shared storage area. I may try this out on a spare system. I am waiting to hear back from him.
