hi, finally succeeded. I did not use lvm. What I did:
1 booted fedora. made a 4gb swap and a 60gb primary partition and installed fedora there. 2 booted mint and made another 60gb partition and installed mint there. 3 on restart, the machine booted directly into mint 4 booted from the fedora installation dvd and restored grub. I now have a nice dual boot system - I still have one more partition available, should I install mandriva, or does someone have suggestions for something more exotic? fdisk -l shows: [root@xlquest lawgon]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders, total 312581808 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00088787 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 114690047 57344000 83 Linux /dev/sda2 114690048 122882047 4096000 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda3 122882048 240068607 58593280 83 Linux -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
