Grub

[Dr P Dupre]

Hello,

thank.

When I tried to install FC7 on a disk with more than 16 partition, it 
failed because complains at the isntallation. So I had to reformat the
disk. I did not want to have to face the same problem with another
computer with more than 16 partitions. If I remember one problem is
with fdisk and maybe udev.

Regards.
