Hi Michael, > Are they any "gotcha's" related to using the same /home partition for > both FC2 and FC1? Specific for FC1 and FC2 is the SELinux context information that needs to be set on newly created files (http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/selinux-faq-en/). In general the problem with using multiple distributions/releases on one system is that you don't want the applications to overwrite configuration data from the other installations. This is why I use a /data partition instead of /home. Symlink /home/user/data to /data/user. This way you can share data between installations, but need not be afraid that configuration information gets ruined. Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research
