Both Debian Live and debox (Debian on a One Laptop per Child laptop)

achievement making the systems available when space is very constricted.

For what it's worth - I resized (twice) my XP partition - then, first
established a Debian partition, then "grew" it.
A few weeks ago, I used Qtparted via Knoppix to resize the XP partition on
my 80GB HD to allow a Debian install (25GB). Last night, I used Gparted to

Hello Jaye,

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.

Hello?,
Look again closely at my partition tables. I created ext2 partitions
for each of my linux distros and seperate boots as well. The only
thing shared here is my swap file by all the distros. So I have it
as hda1=win98, hda12 through hda15 for my linux ROOT partitions.
I think what
Installing into the same partition is not a simple thing to do. (Need special
script to rearrange directory structure and possibly several initrd images
I think. This is more complicated than making a distribution. Why bother.)
Everyone usually install each distro to a partition and mount other
Now how did you manage to install FOUR different distros? I tried installing
two (Mandrake + Storm, a debian derivative). While I was able to run stuff like
Gnome (practically the whole bunch I guess), I ran into module loading problems.
My Storm installation kept looking for the Mandrake modules.

Don't know if anyone's suggested this yet - it might be easier to manage if
you put lilo on a partition and point to all your linuces from there.
Solves the 1024 cylinder problem anyway. I use BootMagic (which comes with
PartitionMagic) on my MBR to go to LILO or any proprietary OS.
