No, but I look forward to your journey as I would like to know also. :-) The part about being able to make the system unbootable because of an error in installing bootctl has made me hesitant to experiment. I think the way to go is to create another efi partition as /boot/test and make all the changes there. When you are ready to test, change fstab to point to that partition in fstab, as /boot using the UUID. That will mask the boot in the already installed fedora, and if you have /boot/test set up correctly, should boot into the existing fedora. You will also have to have the windows setup in /boot/test in order to boot it. Some hand waving in there, but could work with tweaking, I think. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
