One is currently running FreeBSD6.2, the second has my data files (home directories). On the third I would like to install FreeBSD-current to play around a bit and get more familiar with the OS. Is it possible after the installation of current on the 3rd partition that I can use my data files (home directories) without messing up the permissions/etc? So finally I would like to have Multiboot (FreeBSD 6.2 and Current) which both use the same userspace (second partition) Please let me know if this is not clear. Thanks, Alain
