I have a system partitioned thus: hda1 Primary DOS FAT-16 hda2 Primary Debian1 ext2 / hda3 Primary Debian2 ext2 / hda5 Logical Debian3 ext2 / hda6 Logical common(1,2,3) swap hda7 Logical common(1,2,3) ext2 /var/cache/apt/archives hda8 Logical Debian1 ext2 /usr hda9 Logical Debian2 ext2 /usr hda10 Logical Debian3 ext2 /usr hda11 Logical common(1,2,3) ext2 /data Don't have any problems accessing any partition from any Debian. The only trouble I had was getting two 'other' OS's installed - they both seemed to want to be on a primary partition and could only cope with one during installation. In an earlier config attempt I had split the data partition in two and had tried with two partitions for the other OS's, and again, Debian didn't have any trouble accessing them. It was easier to put the other OS's on first and then use Debian fdisk during installation to partition the rest. -- http://www.spatial.freeserve.co.uk ...or something
