From the way this discussion has gone, it looks like people are mixing up
two different things.  When some say that you shouldn't put
multiple system files "on the same hard disk," they actually mean that
you shouldn't put multiple system files *in the same logical volume*.
When other people say there's no problem (as above), they actually mean
that there's no problem putting multiple systems on *different
partitions* of the same hard disk.

Everybody get that?
