Hi thank you for your answer,
I didn't understand many things.
1. When you speak about fedora live cd do you mean the cd that i used for installing fedora? in That case there are some options when i boot from it, which one should i use?
2. when using fdisk should i use n for creating the partitions you sugested or i must unpartition everything. In that case how?
May be these are obvious questions for people who already use these tchniques but for me it is really the first time. Maybe i should read some tutorial dealing with that. Do you know about one explaining just the basic things that i need or you can have the time to answer this kind of questions?
Thanks a lot
