HI
I have ubuntu 5.10 on my system and using FC3 since it was released. I
tried to install FC4 on my system by sharing the swap and /home
partition between FC4 and ubuntu. The installation went well. I did not
install KDE in FC4.
I was well aware of permission screw ups that this could lead to, hence
I did not create any user (The UID and GID of root is preserved across
Linux distros)
I booted in as root and created a new user with UID and GID same as on ubuntu.
Now I booted in GNOME and it was completely configured!!!! Moreover
gaim started and signed me in to all my accounts!!! This was first time
login...
My question is that can is sharing /home okay for a long run or will it lead to problems.
Also can other file systems like /usr be shared along with this and if it can be then under what restrictions??
If any one has done this please let me know.
Sumeet
