Please help - Named instances and full-text search

I asked this last week and no one replied :-(
i have a sql server 2000 default instance and i'm planning on adding
a sql server 2005 named
instance to the server. both will be using full text search. i
assume that each
instance should be assigned separate directories for their full text
catalog files?Hi Derek

The location for the FTS catalogs can be specified using the ON PATH
parameter of the CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG command
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms189520.aspx
or by us filling in the Catalog location in the dialog presented on SSMS
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms183531.aspx
Each instance has it's own FTS service therefore they can be configured
separately.

and (I believe) there is an option to specify the default directory during
setup.
