I would like to install the two OSs in such a way that they share two FDISK-partitions on my harddisk. The harddisk would be partitioned like shown below: FDISK_1: Linux-Root & Swap FDISK_2: BSD/386-root & Swap FDISK_3: user FDISK_4: news After booting one of the OSs from the respective partition it should be able to mount and use the user- and news-partition normally. Is such a setup possible at all? Are there better setup-schemes? Do you know of a file system type the two OSs have in common? I would be glad to hear/read about any experiences (good/bad) you made with the setup described above (or with a similar one)... Kind regards, -- Muharem Hrnjadovic (hrnjad@spock.m.isar.de)
