I could install on xp + ubuntu hardy heron Fedora 9 after a couple of
trials. Fedora did not allow me to open a vfat partition which I created in
Ubuntu. How does one create partitions such that all OSes can use them? Now
I re created the same using Fedora. Ubuntu lost it. It is not allowing me to
open it stating that I do not have permission.
Fedora soon intimated me that there are a number of updates available to my
system. Unlike Ubuntu where one can select which update to get and their
sizes, Fedora does not have this facility. When I started update it down
loaded about 300mb and still going on and on. Looks from the indicator that
over a GB of material will be downloaded. Strange for a system just out a
couple of months back.
How does one make the same /home partition shared by Ubuntu and Fedora?
