   Installing new systems.....How best to??

   From: Daniel47@teranews.com   
      
   On this HP 6730b Laptop I currently have Windows 7, Mandriva 2009.0 and   
   Mandriva 2010.0 on the 250GB HD and I want to install Mandriva 2011 and   
   Mageina 2.   
      
   Current break up of sda:-   
   sda1	60GB	NTFS-3G	Windows 7 C:   
   sda2	22GB	NTFS-3G	Programs D:   
   sda3	19GB	NTFS-3G	Games E:   
   sda5	4GB		Linux Swap   
   sda6	20GB	Ext3	/     Mandriva 2009.0	(15.5GB free)   
   sda7	18GB	Ext3	/alt  Mandriva 2010.0	(13.6GB free)   
   sda8	85GB	Ext3	/Home			(57.2GB free)   
      
   I mainly use 2009, so I could replace 2010 with 2011 without much   
   trouble for me, but my preference would be to have all four linux   
   versions available.   
      
   As the two installed OS's are each only using about 5GB of their mounts,   
   can I just divide sda 6 in two and sda 7 in two, giving me sda's 9 and   
   10 (or whatever) on which to install my two newish OS's and have them   
   all make use of the single /Home??   
      
   Side question	What has likely happened to sda4??   
      
   TIA
