Hi
I need some advice here.
I am running a triple-boot system (Windows 2K, Fedora 19, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS).
It has three HDDs, one for each OS. (Windows, Fedora, Ubuntu).
I am planning to upgrade this system for Christmas. Windows will go away
and I will only run it virtualized. I have more than a year since I boot it
last.
I am planning to put a a small (100GB to 200 GB) SDD to host the OS of
Ubuntu and Fedora and have a big HDD for the /home, /var partition and
swap partitions.
In theory, Ubuntu and Fedora will have their own partitions inside the SDD.
My question is, can I share the /boot partition between Fedora and Ubuntu?
both are using Grub2. Right now I have two /boot partitions (one on each
HDD) and it is a pain. For some reason, Ubuntu does not find out Fedora
unless I mount the disk each time I update ubuntu kernel. If I update
Fedora kernel I have to go to Ubuntu to redo the boot config files. (Yes,
the master boot goes to Ubuntu for some reason I do not remember any
more). I want to keep just one /boot partition of maybe 800 MB to make
everyone feel confy.
Also, although it is off topic, is there any good tutorial to virtualize
the Win2K partition as is? I'd really hate having to reinstall all my
programs and stuff even if I am not using them much anymore.
It will be kind of more trouble having to search for old drivers and
stuff.I have the original CDs for all the programs, but many of the updates
will be missing/disappeared. Also I will have to locate again FOSS software
compatible with win2k
