Dual Boot 7.04 & 7.10

[2004]

I have 4 partitions on my hard drive with 64bit feisty installed
/
swap
/home
/xtra
Is it possible to install 32bit 7.10 on my /xtra partition and use my swap and /home partitions
for both installs without screwing up my feisty install?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5400+
ASUS M2A-VM HDMI MotherBoard
500GB Sata Hard Drive
Nvidia 7950 GX2 Graphics
Kubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04

Swap, Yes you could use same swap.

/home, I would not use same home partition, KDE/program settings are there.

I concur with Rog's advice.

Out of curiosity, why are you interested in the 32-bit OS on that Athlon 5400?

Thanks for the help

I wanted to try the new Geubuntu without harming my main install
I really like the look of it and have tried adding the repos to add it but no luck
