   I am impressed with how lean you have managed to keep those installs.

   Wish you luck there. By the way, if you took the default during   
   partition creations, you could squeeze some space from lost+found   
   using tune2fs to reduce the reserved blocks percentage

   I would assume the first time you ran kde on Mageia or mandriva 2011   
   they would modify your kde stuff so 2009 would not run until you   
   deleted ~/.kde_whatever and reconfigured your 2009 desktop.

   Nothing, it is an extended partition.  :)   
      
   PS: partitions 7 and 8 will be renumbered when you run Mageia   
   installer.   
      
   I cannot remember which one, but I remember a install failure because /   
   was not large enough when set at around 8gig or something.
