When I was doing multiboot systems, I gave up on shared directories (like home). Instead, I just created two completely separate systems; two home folders, two root folders, etc., and that worked pretty well. When I needed to copy something from one home folder to another, that was a hassle, but viable, and better than a broken system. I didn't like the idea of duplicated (wasted) space, but it was the best solution. I ran like that on a laptop, while I was learning Debian, with a Hardy Heron as the other system. My Hardy Kubuntu 8.04 configuration still runs like a top, when I install it on a machine; except that it is mostly unusable for Internet now, due to lack of security updates, patches, etc. Hardy Heron with KDE3 (the only machine I've ever loved) is basically what I am trying to recreate on TDE. It looks almost identical, but doesn't quite run as smoothly. Well, since I am not doing multiboot at the moment, maybe AntiX will work for me. *fingers crossed* Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
