If it has been, please point me to it! The new hardware will be arriving soon. I'll have a 1.2GB drive and I want to have several different versions of Unix on it. Linux, 386BSD, NetBSD, and ISC to begin with and maybe later Solaris. How much, if at all, can the filesystems be shared? Which types of files systems should be used if sharing is an option? Can I create a news filesystem that can be used by any of the Unixes? If you've installed different kinds of Unix on one system, how did you set up the disks? What were you able to share? I believe that the maximum number of physical partitions is four. Did each Unix have to have its own partition? Thanks for any info! Leo
