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 wantthat 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
Can you please post a fdisk -l ? I'll tell you the right instructions you should do. In my opinnion you should install FC grub on FC partition boot sector and then let Debian install himself on the solaris partition and after the installation add an entry to boot Fedora Core... or better even the FC grub. adrian15 _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
