because your are playing with multi flavors,
[i bet you like going to baskin-robbins for ice cream ;-) ]
a solution for you would be what i did some years back and i was
playing with diff flavors, my "/home" partition was mounted in
new install as /home2 and i let installation setup a /home in /.
after install and booting it, as root i moved the newly created
"user" home to the /home2 directory, renamed it to the 'user-flavor',
then linked that back into the install /home and renamed it to
"username" and changed ownership to "user"
which then gave me:
/home/username --> /home2/user-flavor
so that in /home2 i had:
/home2/geo-fc3
/geo-fc4
/geo-mandrake
/geo-flavor-x
/geo-flavor-y
i hope you can see how i did this. i am of terse thinking and
do not always go into detail enough.
