Hello Jaye, ? here Well I guess I may have shared a partition or two. I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "same root partition." But here's the [annotated] view from Mandrake.

Storm is mounted as /storm on my Mandrake, while Mandrake is largely invisible to Storm [except for /home]. I placed my Staroffice 5.2 in /opt, usable both ways.
