I remember another query from Mohan is pending on me. I cudn't help with that problem unfortunately...
I have done this successfully, though my preference is to install Fedora and then Ubuntu as I understand the latter much better now! :) Infact, ubuntu does identify Fedora installations if I am not mistaken. I had tough time with CentOS and Fedora on the same machine - can't share partitions b/n the two easily. Eitherways you need to modify the /boot/grub/menu.lst file of the final OS. In your case it is Fedora. I am hoping you are aware of what partition contains Ubuntu. You can identify from the output of df -h. Mount the root partition of Ubuntu and open /Ubuntu_root_mount_point/boot/grub/menu.lst. You need to get the latest kernel on ubuntu onto your fedora menu.lst in the format redhat expects (you can use the latest fedora kernel for reference). Unfortunately you would need to do this each time Ubuntu releases a kernel. Keep a back up of your last working menu.lst always! :) Hope this helps... -- Have a nice day, Mynk Saifi Khan wrote: > > Anybody who has installed multiple Linux distros, please help > Mr. V C Mohan with the issues he is facing. > > thanks > Saifi. > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Sun, 3 Aug 2008 19:20:42 +0530 > From: V.C.Mohan > > I am trying to install UBUNTU Hardy Heron and Fedora Sulfer as two > other OS > on my windows XP system.
