<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Fedora Core 5 Installation</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello<BR> <BR>I have been using Red Hat Linux for a long
while now, usually at University. This time I tried installing it on my Dell
Inspiron 630m notebook, however, I am facing a lot of issues regarding the
installation, and there is not enough helpful info to guide me. Also, I am not
sure whom to contact in this case, so am writing this email to
you.<BR> <BR>The first thing I did was burn Fedora Core 5 CDs and tried
installing it on my hard drive partition that I created by resizing my Windows
XP Pro partition. Because I wanted to dual boot Windows and Linux, and also
from the instructions in the Fedora Core 5 Installation Manual, I opted for
GRUB boot loader. However, I didn't see any option of changing the boot loader
or switching to LILO, which forced me to go with GRUB. I also choose not to
overwrite the MBR. Windows was chosen as my default boot Operating System.
After the first installation process, when my notebook rebooted, I didn't see
any options of Linux OS, and my notebook was booted directly to Windows. To
support dual boot, I created a FAT32 shared drive, and managed to pass the
Fedora.bin boot information to Windows. I modified the boot.ini file in
Windows and then when I rebooted my machine, I was able to see 2 OS options:
1. Windows 2. Linux.<BR>However, now, when I click on Linux, GRUB loads and I
am not sure what command to type into it. Also the reference materials I have
looked at haven't been much help at all.<BR> <BR>Could you please let me
know what I should do next to see the Linux OS running and still maintaining
the dual boot of Windows and Linux.<BR> <BR>Thank you very much.<BR>
