Well I have Fedora 7 installed but it has not gone quite to plan.
I rearranged all the partitions of my old Slackware installation so
that everything was on one disk (/dev/sda) and I removed all the
partitions from /dev/sdb. I then ran the Fedora installation telling
it to use /dev/sdb.
That went pretty smoothly and I have managed to mount the old
Slackware partitions in Fedora so I can see everything.
However I have a couple of problems:-
The Fedora system doesn't seem to be able to update/install new
software using yum (or the GUI installer). When run it just hangs
at the start where it is trying to get a list of packages.
Fedora uses grub to start up, Slackware used Lilo. Fedora boots
from /dev/sdb. Is there any way I can get grub to dual boot
Fedora and Slackware? All the Slackware stuff is still there in
its /boot on /dev/sda and I can see the Lilo configuration file.
What is needed in grub to tell it to boot from an installation on
a different drive?
I'm sending this E-Mail from my 'garage' computer, what a good idea
that was! :-)
