-- Detailed partition layout snipped -- You should have no problem with this setup. I have a similar setup, except it is spread over three hard drives, and the partition sizes are quite different. I have a Woody partition, a Potato partition, backup partitions for each, a /local partition that is symlinked to my home directory, and a large /usr/local partition, primarily for building my packages. I also have a DOS 6.22 partition and an WIN95 partition. I can boot into any of these partitions using GRUB, and my home and /usr/local are mounted in any of the Linux partitions.
