Hello All,

I have been running FC2 since it was released, and I would like to run FC3.
It has taken me a long time to get my server the way I want it, and I want 
to be able to use FC2 if I run into problems with the transition.
So with the given disk configuration, can I dual boot FC2 / FC3 ?

right now I have
/boot    100M
/          11G
/home   60G RAID 1

is there a way to split the root partition into two 5GB partitions?
