Hello,
I had installed linux (Fedora Core) and then solaris on the same disk.
The Grub of solaris took over, and I can dual boot both
to linux and solaris. The solaris partition ("bf") is the
primary partition.
Now I do not want the solaris any more on this hard disk.
I do want to install another linux on this HardDisk, Debian, and I
still want
that the Fedora Core will remain.
As far as I remember fronm the past (I tried something
like it),if I will not delete the solaris parition, and
start the linux Debian installation there will be an error
(something like "cannot allocate partition table" while installing).
So my question is:
Is it ok to delete the Solaris partition (using fdisk) and
start the debian installer ? Will the debian installer take over
and recognize the linux partition ?
I simply afraid that something will mess up because the solaris
partition is a primary partiton, and as I unerstand , now the MBR
of GRUB is in it.
Any ideas?
Ian
