hi,
finally succeeded. I did not use lvm. What I did:
Will it be possible for you to document your whole experience
in a wiki or something where people looking for info can get it
through a web search. I agree that there might already be info on
that. But just in case. :)
4 booted from the fedora installation dvd and restored grub. I now have
a nice dual boot system - I still have one more partition available,
should I install mandriva, or does someone have suggestions for
something more exotic?
How about Open Indiana. I guess the current build is 151a
and it is a nice OS[1]. For someone used to the GNU/Linux system, it
should be very easy. IIRC, it has just gnome(gnome2). And it has the
usual tools - firefox, thunderbird etc. They have a synaptic like UI
for installing new software. Would be worth a try. Thanks
[1] Open Indiana is an OS using the illumos kernel, which was a fork
of Open Solaris after Oracle acquired Sun
