So... In all naiveté, can I install a Mach/Hurd kernel alongside my 
Mandrake 9.* kernel and use (some of) the existing files/ apps as used 
by the Mandrake stuff?

Or is a separate partition and completely separate install required?


(Or is this a very silly question because the Mach/Hurd kernel supports 
far fewer interfaces/services than the Linux kernel?)
