I keep it fairly simple. Just one ext4 partition, for / per distro with the bootloader installed to the partition. The system came with Vista and a recovery partition on a 500GB hard drive. Here's the process I followed: 1. Shrink the Vista partition (I gave it 50 GB) 2. Create a 1GB boot partition immediately following the boot partition. 3. Create an extended partition for my Linux distros and misc. files 4. Create a 20GB partition for Fedora, and a couple of 80GB partitions for the misc. stuff
5. Install Fedora using the 1GB boot partition as /boot, and the 20GB partition as / (no swap). Install grub to the hard drive's MBR. 6. Unmount /boot and remount the boot partition on /media 7. Copy the contents of /mnt to /boot 8. Install grub on the Fedora partition 9. Manually modify the grub config file on /media to chainload the bootloader on the Fedora partition. Keeping a separate boot partition not tied to any one distro I might happen to install works for me; YMMV. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
