Hi all, i was installing fedora on my laptop, using my already installed version of grub (i booted off the hdd because i have no boot devices but hdd on that darn laptop). Here it goes: - boot was fine, anaconda was running; - created partitions; - selected packages; - system was installing rpms on my disk, when... it ran out of space!!! Fatal error, you must restart. Well, i guess how i can restart now, since fedora installer nuked my boot loader. Now that laptop is less useful than a piece of broken iron. It won't boot. Possbile bug: why doesn't fedora installer check for available room on local partitions? I think it would be much a wiser way, and as far as i remember RH systems did a check before formatting and starting with rpms installation. Is this a bug or what? Now, i took off the hdd and mounted on usb2 'cradle'. I can see it, mount and manage partitions. How do i make it bootable? I guess i have to copy proper files in /boot and configure grub. No problem. But how do i install grub on *that* disk instead of local disk of the machine i am using? Just grub-install /dev/sdx? nothing else? Can i later mount it again on laptop and start normal hdd based install? Please, any hint is greatly appreciated as i am not sure on how to proceed and don't want to mess more with that hdd. E.
