I new that in order to do it, I will have to create or resize a partition. Well, when I run the installation DVD for Fedora 9 I get the following screen: Drive /dev/sda (114471 MB) (Model: ATA SAMSUNG HD120IJ) ____________________________________________________________ sda2 114274 MB ____________________________________________________________ DEVICE MOUNT POINT/VOLUME TYPE SIZE (MB) LVM Volume Groups VolGroup00 114272 LogVol00 ext3 113216 LogVol01 swap 1024 Hard Drives /dev/sda /dev/sda1 ext3 196 /dev/sda2 VolGroup00 LVM PV 114275 I have tried to do a lot of thing but no success. How could I get a space of approximately 30 GB to install another Linux, in my case Fedora 9? </blockquote></div></div> I think Aldo gave you a decent answer. You are stuck with LVM, but you still should be able to set up for a dual boot. Problem 1 is /dev/sda1 is set up as your /boot partition. You will probably need to share this which means some manual editing of /boot/grub/grub.conf. Resizing of an LVM logical partition can be accomplished via the system-config-lvm graphical LVM utility. Or you can use the nonm-graphical commands, such as resize2fs and lvm. However possibly a better way might be to use a virtual machine, such as virtual box, and install Fedora 9 in virtualbox. -- Jerry Feldman <<a href="mailto:gaf@blu.org" target="_blank">gaf@blu.org</a>> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846 -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> Guidelines: <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines" target="_blank">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines</a> </blockquote></div> -- adios KSH SHRM <a href="http://oddishquirk.blogspot.com/">http://oddishquirk.blogspot.com/</a> People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care...
