How to partition a drive for multiple distros
#8
HHMMM...
We may want to see if gold_finger or another chimes in... for the LVM VG korora, LV swap line..

The GParted image shows Korora on SDC, which is fine..

From the install as follows...
SDA = Windows
SDB = Cant see right off but another Linux Distro and swap?
SDC = Linux, assuming mapped for the  /dev/mapper/Korora
SDD = Mint

Writing changes..
LL is being built across all partitions...
3 partitions for swap (2 SDB and 1 SDD); and  SDC partition 4 which doesn't exist yet, this will become SDC4 assuming for "/" and assuming from the unallocated space..

sdb1 & 3 and sdd1 all for swap are probably ok being reformatted as swap
although swap could be shared across the distro's (Mint and LL for certain) as could "/home"..

The  line...
LVM VG korora, LV swap as swap is the one I'm most iffy and a confirmation/additional input to be certain..

Lastly the Device for boot loader installation have all previous install been to sda? or the same as root partition?
it may make a difference for grub..
