I would like someone help to suggest the best practice of setting dual-boot menu with Windows XP prof during installation. To give a bit of information about the existing partitions: Window XP Pro together with Mandrake 2006 Free edition running in dual boot menu. I prepare to erase Mandrake Linux partition(reason: sound problem not fix and Mandrake does not support free distribution) and install Fedore Core 5. Do I use GRUB by default? Pls someone advises me on claudeyu at optusnet.com.au will be mostly appreicated. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

First, this question is off-topic for this list... http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PostIsOffTopic ...but... When you run the Fedora Core 5 installation, you will be given the opportunity to handle your partitioning. You can manage the partitions however you wish, including erasing and replacing existing partitions as needed. GrUB will be installed by default, and the system will detect your Windows XP installation and add it to the boot menu automatically. By default, it will refer to that installation as "Other", but you'll have the opportunity to change that during the installation and determine which will be the default, too. As always, be very careful when working on your partitioning, it is easy to erase partitions and leave yourself with a broken setup. Make sure you review your selections carefully before completing the installation. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64 at n-man.com http://www.n-man.com/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nman64 Have I been helpful?
