Aha! Wonderful news. I have just started using LVM and this is quite
helpful. When I was reading up on LVM, many sources had trouble with
/boot on an LVMed partition so I created /boot in a non-LV

I recently installed Fedora 13 on a dual boot system. This time,
however, I opted to have my /home in Fedora encrypted. Anaconda gave
this option, I selected it and it asked for a password. Now when I boot
into F13, the boot process asks for the password before continuing. So
far so good.

hmm .. then why does it detect OSes on my LVM volumes? I don't think

How do I check that? device.map file is something that I have never had
to deal with before (Red Hat (7, 8, 9), Fedora Core and Fedora till ver.

On a newly installed Debian Testing system, I installed Fedora 13 in a
different partition but chose not to install the boot loaded since I
wanted to use Debian's boot loader for all OSes.
Now when I do update-grub in Debian, it detects all OSes installed in
the hard drives connected to the system

It is usually the interesting ways that it can be installed or updated
(i.e. without using CDs or DVDs) that attracts me. Otherwise I am more

When I boot from a USB Fedora 13 boot disk (using boot.iso from Fedora
13), I press TAB on the boot screen and append "askmethod" (without
quotes) to the kernel options line and boot. But the screen ends up
black and nothing happens.
If I do not give any options, the boot proceeds and goes thro

How does it matter? I mounted the iso as a loop device, mounted the USB
stick, and copied over the files. While copying, it should not matter
what file systems at both ends are, does it?

I want to install Fedora 13 on a computer which is currently running
Debian (going to make it multiboot). I have downloaded boot.iso from
Fedora 13 tree

and also Fedora-13-x86_64-netinst.iso
