	David:

	If you are using the drop-down list box to name the partitions / ,
/boot, /home, etc. Anaconda should append a '1' to those names to make
them unique.

	 Also, you should be aware that you will have to manually reconfigure
GRUB or LILO to see the FC 1 as for some reason, Anaconda won't look for
it ( Hey Red Hat are you guys listening?).  It should be possible to use
the same /boot partition for both distros, but I'm too much a noob to
know for sure.
