I've got Berryboot 2.0 on one of my SD cards and I'm using it for fooling around with some alternate OSes. For the Linux based ones I would like to share a HOME file system between them (and even if not shared, I prefer that to facilitate backups and make it easier to replace the OS.) I looked at /etc/fstab and everything was commented out. I figured I better ask before I start messing with that (though at this point a total cockup would only mean a reinstall.)

A second and related question is how to add a swap partition. I can do that on a USB drive if that's recommended. I know swap is not recommended for the Pi but I'd rather burn up a USB drive than waste the rest of my life waiting for something to happen. ;)

Thanks!
