Sorry for jumping in mid-thread, and I'm not sure if this has been pointed out, but this problem appears to have been fixed in FC3T3. I think Fedora Core 3 is only a week or two from being released, but the test version is working great so far for me. To do a dual install, I had an OEM install of XP Home on a new laptop. I resized the partition to about half the size using Knoppix. Then I installed FC3T3 and instructed it to use existing free space then the rest was install as usual... these instructions worked, but of course I used fc3 instead of yarrow/1. of course, YMMV. -paul
