I use GPT on all my single-boot Fedora machines. All but one has the traditional BIOS. The traditional BIOS works just fine with GPT formatted disks. Furthermore, I use just two partitions. Linux swap and ext4 / fs. It works just fine that way. There is no need to make your life more difficult with juggling a bunch of partitions that will need re-sizing down the road. > From experience I have also found that you can't install the > windows system partition on a GPT device and I thought I read > somewhere that you also can't put Linux /boot on GPT either. This is true. My laptop's MS Windows XP doesn't seem to like GPT. Not sure about anything more recent. I only use the XP partition to load updated firmware on consumer devices, so I'm not about to spend money to upgrade an OS I use perhaps once a year. -wolfgang -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
