ext3 partition on a windows drive common to 32bit and 64bit?

[David Ryder]

Thanks Matt and Karl.

Strange place to put it, but you can if you want.
Where would you put it and why? I would prefer not to have it in /home
as it is on a separate physical drive and wanted to make sure /home was
not corrupted by a drive error.
Thanks -- David
