At this time, I have the main partition table filled, with one of those being an extended partition, and on that extended partition I am up to nine logical partitions (bringing me to sda13). I think the partition table limit is sixteen, but as the devices stop at sda15 [?], I'd have to reconfigure the kernel to test that. > As to having both a stable and unstable Debian Linux system on your > machine at one time... ... > Sharing directories...

Duh, I was thinking of NFS mounts from different machines, not different systems on one machine. Forget what I said about sharing, and refer to the articles by Bill Leach (the one I am answering) and the one by Ray Ingles.
