good morning,
(background)
I (finally!) have a new desktop on its way. It's supposed to be
totally blank; that is, it will have whatever firmware, bios, and
other software the manufacturers of the parts put on those parts, but
nothing else. No windows, no other operating system. The desktop
will not connect to any other workstation, desktop, laptop, notebook,
cell phone, server, LAN, or WAN. It will have one ethernet connection
to one phone modem, which will provide internet service. The new
desktop will not be an e-mail server or a web server. It is for
common "home use". I will not be gaming on it. I will be the
desktop's sole user.
The desktop will have two internal drives: one HDD for "user" data,
one M.2(?) NVMe(?) drive for the operating systems and installed
applications. This desktop will not be "DIY"; it's bought from a
local pc store.
I will want the new desktop to be dual-boot: Fedora Workstation plus
one other Linux distro. I will want Fedora to be the top choice in
the grub menu. If it matters, I'm leaning towards Ubuntu for that
second operating system, but I have a couple reservations/hesitations
about that.
(question)
I've groped around the web, especially the Fedora Docs web site
("https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/docs/";). I've not found any
instructions on how to install on a blank desktop, let alone how to do
a dual-boot install. What I found predates by years the new Anaconda
and the new dnf. Where are good, detailed instructions for doing a
dual-boot install, Fedora + one other Linux distro, on a blank desktop?
Thank-you in advance.
By default (!= mandatory!), Fedora keeps 5 old kernels when a kernel is
patched or updated, right?
By default, how does Fedora handle rescue kernels?
