Re: Grub and two distros

For that reason you have to know that operating systems you have
installed, that partitions you have in your hard disk, and that partitions
you have in your operating systems, you must know your system, sometimes
grub it does not take into account many configurations and it is necessary
to do it manually, for that reason he is recommendable to know the
partitions well.

when i install fedora 10 on this box, already a quad boot, f10 thought it
was
only system. when i selected to install a start for another install, it
did
so. but true to form, it did not work. so i manually edited grub.conf and
set it up as i wanted and anaconda has never been able to do.

Sure - but when you install kernel updates on one or the other, then
tend to trample the bootloader in mbr

I think I may have solved the mystery of my wireless problems - I'll
report
back in a few hours when I'm more sure. Meanwhile, I'm now about to
reinstall
Fedora. I'd like, if possible, to keep Linpus Lite, as I found that
having
the easy interface on the EeePC was very useful when strangers were
curious
about it.

Linpus appears to be using about 8GB, so I figure that if I shrink
its
partition to 12GB that should be plenty for anything I'll ever need.
I'll
then do a custom install of Fedora. I've not done a dual install
like
this
before (apart from windows dual-boot). Can I expect that grub will
recognise
and set up the Linpus installation, or am I likely to have to do some
jiggery-
pokery to get things going? If there are any problems I want to know
about
them before I start :-)
