How could Drupal 6 and 7 live together in the same multisite environment?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I imagine this subject has been discussed endlessly, but unfortunately not found any solution yet.
I have a multisite environment in Drupal 6 working perfectly, but I want to start new sites now using Drupal 7, without converting the previous sites.
How would it be possible to have versions 6 and 7 in the same domain?

you can just use a subdomain

you can just use a subdomain drupal7.example.com with a new directory and a database where drupal7 lives in. Here you can go with multisite d7 installations.

in your d6 codebase you are limitied to d6 in any way.

Remember: I compute you!

Is there some tutorial?

Thanks.
It's good to know that I can do it.
To avoid having problems when installing, is there some tutorial that demonstrate, step by step, how to install Drupal 7 over an installation Drupal 6, in multisite format, without changing anything in Drupal 6?

strange wording, but in hope

strange wording, but in hope that you understood the fact that you must separate your installations:

  • create a folder on your webspace / server
  • create a new database for drupal 7
  • download, unpack and copy drupal7 files to the new folder
  • point a domain there
  • install to the new database

Remember: I compute you!
