    Hi,

    I have windows 2000 installed in my PC. I
    just installed the second 80GB HD. I'd like
    to install Fedora Core 2 on the new HD. I
    have the Fedora Bible, but it doesn't explain
    enough about installing Linux on the second
    drive.

    1-I want to partition the new hard drive to
    have one shared partition between the two
    OSs, what partition type should I use to
    share data files between Windows and Linux?

    2-What can I do to make sure that Windows
    2000 remains intact during Fedora
    installation?

    3-I want to reserve part of the new drive for
    the future application ( like installing
    Solaris) and the rest for Linux
    (workstation). I want to make the partitions
    bigger than the minimum required to have
    enough room for the future
    expansions/installations. My question is how
    much space I should allocate to the following
    Linux partitions:
     \ (root)
    \home
    \var
    \usr
    \tmp

    Thanks for your help.
