which suggests i may have copied the /proc file system multiple times
by accident.

Partitions:
hda1 -- old Libranet
hda2 -- currently used Ubuntu
hda6 -- Kubuntu
hda7 -- supposed to be shared /etc partition

Questions:

1. how can i correct this error i have apparently made? 
2. Is it possible or practical to share /etc between these 2 distros?
3. Is ext2 the best file system (smaller) or reiserfs (bigger) for
/etc partition?
