Congrats. However, the mystery behind the 40GB (from a another
thread) remains unresolved. I would suggest you close that thread
with your finding. The n00b sys admin may learn a few things from
that experience.
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?
FreeBSD?
If your CPU [a] and motherboard are LKVM capable + 4GB of RAM, then I
would suggest that you keep one primary OS and keep all the rest of
the hard disk for your /home and experiment with the different OS in a
LKVM environment.
[a] Personal observation, dual core with 2 threads/core has given me
better multitasking between my VMs and other desktop apps running in
the primary OS.
