That *might* let FC3 mount /home >(I'm not sure -- I don't actually understand the error message). If >it does, surely FC5 will no longer like /home. I expect so. Relabeling each time would be slow. Try booting FC3 with "enforcing=0" appended to the kernel command line. If that works, then you have established that it is an SELinux issue. If it is an SELinux issue, I think you will need to either not use SELinux on one of the installations, or use the same SELinux and SELinux Policy in both. That would probably require using the same kernel in both (but what do I know?). Even if you do manage to share /home, you might also face issues with the shared .configuration files. You might wish to share something lower down inside each user's account. I have not faced this issue yet myself; I just have two copies of everything. This works because I don't use FC3 anymore; I'll blow it away soon for FC6. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
