I only want to add SuSE 10.1 to my current 9.3 and Ubuntu.  I have 2 hard 
drives:  an 80 GB with Win Me which is running great and I don't want to 
lose that.  The 2nd hard drive is a 60 GB and is dedicated to Linux.  I've 
set up an Extended Partition on which I now have 9.3.

It looks like this:

/dev/hdb1       /boot
/dev/hdb2       Extended
/dev/hdb5       /
/dev/hdb6       /home           # this will be my actual /home and others 
will bet linked
/dev/hdb7       /opt
/dev/hdb8       /usr
/dev/hdb9       /var
/dev/hdb10      SWAP

Thanks for the interest and support.

Howard
