Hmmm, the reason I was leary of doing that was anticipation that there would
be some RPMS that were kernel specific, and that I'd have to pick one or the
other kernel version to support. Having separate partitions means that I
could really keep them separate... It was a two fold question, could yaboot
do it (thanks for the URL) and then could the same root file system and
installed rpm sets get along.
Thanks!
