Hi all,
As the title suggests, I want to install 10.04 on a spare partition and use the /home directory that exists in my 8.04 install on another partition (and existing /swap partition also).
Is this possible and what problems may I encounter with the Grub menu and getting the new install onto it. (I realise that 10.04 uses a newer grub - which is why I ask).
In other words, should I use the 10.04 grub and put 8.04 onto that or tweak the existing grub menu?
All help greatly appreciated. ;)
