Can swap and Ext3 stay in 1 partition 10GB ???

[jackiewin]

Hello everybody, I am a newbie for Linux. I am trying to install SuseLinux 10.0 for my system. I spared 10GB for WinXP, 10GB for Win_Vista and 10GB for Suse Linux. The partition to install Linux is now unformatted, can I format it as Ext3 and install SuseLinux on that partition ??? Will SuseLinux automatically create swap partition in the 10 GB that I have created or I should spare more space for swap ????

Should I install all the OS as follow:

1. WinXP
2. Win_Vista
3. Suse Linux

Then will SuseLinux recognize the other two operating systems and set-up a boot-loader with three options ????

Look forward to your soonest reply.

Best regards,

Jackiewin

SuSe installer will create and format / (root), /home and SWAP partitions for you and it will also recognize Windows Xp and Vista.
i possible that Vista boot loader will create a few problems. chances are very low. even if something goes wrong, its very easy to tweak GRUB.
