            If you are using the drop-down list box to name the partitions / ,
    /boot, /home, etc. Anaconda should append a '1' to those names to make
    them unique.

             Also, you should be aware that you will have to manually reconfigure
    GRUB or LILO to see the FC 1 as for some reason, Anaconda won't look for
    it ( Hey Red Hat are you guys listening?). It should be possible to use
    the same /boot partition for both distros, but I'm too much a noob to
    know for sure.
