Hi,
Before I cast my lot in with a KDE4-based system, I'd like to leave my 11.1 bridge unburned.
If I install 11.3 and have it use the same /home as my 11.1 installation, will they coexist peacefully or interfere with each other?
I doubt I'd try it, but what about the same question for /var?
For homes one recommended option is to have separate relatively small home partitions on each system and larger shared partition with all "real" user stuff (Documents, Downloads, Pictures and so on). Then soft-link these directories to /home of each system. As far as systems are different Open SuSE versions, it works fine. If you have other system (e.g. Kubuntu) that allocates user and group IDs differently it might be more tricky. /var is interesting one... e.g. /var/logs, /var/admin, /var/cache... I wouldn't try it either. Regards -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
