Thinking about it I can't remember to be honest. I tried this once
before and got some very strange problems in the second distribution
(Mandrake 5 if I recall correctly) when I booted into it after running
an ancient Debian installation.This was sometime around 2000/2001 so I
don't recall the specifics although I do recall it was because /tmp
wasn't being cleaned out on reboot... times may have changed since
then and this may no longer apply.
