Hi all, I've had this dilemma for a while now. Every time I want to install or upgrade a new FC test/final release I do so via dual-booting it with FC1 (or whatever previous release). FC1 is split into multiple partitions such as /boot/, /usr/, /home etc. So I always create a new empty partition and install there. However, when the installation finishes and I reboot, the grub.conf from the new OS install always overwrites the old one with FC1 and other entries in it. Which means I have to boot to a rescue environment, specify the FC1 partition when asked and then re-install the old grub.conf with grub-install /dev/hda. This also involves editing the old test release entry to point to the kernel/initrd for the new test release. So, is there any way to install a new test/final release in a dual-boot scenario like above but *not* have the old grub.conf overwritten? If the installer could simply add an entry for the new OS to the *old* file that would seem really sensible to me. Any advice/tips appreciated.
