Hello,
I would like to run two Linux distros on one disk but have no clue how I
might do this.

I currently run a dual boot Win xp and SUSE. Both having their own disk.
Win XP on a 12 gig HD, SUSE 9.0 on a 40 gig HD.

I would like to place something such as Fedora Core2 on the same drive as my
SUSE.
So in the end I would have Win XP remaining on the 12 gig and Fedora and
SUSE sharing the 40 gig (SUSE being the distro I would most ften use).

I realize I will likely have to wipe out my current SUSE in order to
accomplish this, that is not a problem.
Even if I do not need to wipe out my SUSE, I think I actually want to so
that I might start from scratch and get the whole experiance of this type of
partitioning.

I've considered going the trial and error route but guess that somewhere
there is a website that will help me avoid the trials and errors or a howto;
or perhpas that it is not nearly as hard as I am expecting and someone might
be able to provide quick info.

I have googled this and am not finding much at all.

Any help would be appricated greatly.
