Re: Multiboot question

Thanks.

In fact my root confusion is f18's anaconda... I don't know how to part
when I faced it.

Now I use f17 anaconda and everything  seems ok.

Thanks all very much!

Re: Multiboot question

2013-02-28 Thread Christopher Meng
Thanks,  David.

Maybe f17 installer is easier for me. I never install dualboot Linux on one
hard disk. I always test such things on my slc usb3.0.

Back to the title. As I used yesterday, f18 anaconda partitioning interface
just made me more confused.

I'll try f17 anaconda to see if things can go along.

And,  fedoraforum suggest me using ext4 instead of lvm.

Multiboot question

2013-02-28 Thread Christopher Meng
Hi all,

Recently I'm stucked with multiboot.

I have a disk with following partition:

sd1.   157GB NTFS of Win8
sd2.   55GB including:

   sd5. 500M /boot
   sd6. 4GB /swap
   sd7. 50GB BTRFS Fedora 18

sd3.55GB not parted
sd4.32GB not parted

Now I want to install Fedora 17 on sd3 or sd4, but I don't know howto. From
Anaconda I failed evrrytime for not enough space or some other reasons.

So any hints availabe? I think two lvm is the way of installing dual
Fedora, isn't it?

Thanks everyone in advance!
