Re: How destructive is upgrade?

I thought your goal was to do this at the least risk of causing
problems...

I'm sure that it can be done.  However, you are going to have to
carefully consider your layout of partitions.  For example, Red Hat's
/etc/fstab uses labels now to determine the correct partition.  I don't
know how SUSE works.  If SUSE's installer decides to label it's
partitions you could have some problems...

I have had another idea.  Since I have enough disk space,
and I already have SuSE 7.1, I could make some new 
partitions just for SuSE and have Windows/Red Hat/SuSE.
Then, I could gradually phase in SuSE and phase out RH.
I wonder if they would both use the same swap partition.
I wonder if they could share other partitions.
