Has anyone tried to install FC3 final release as the second OS on a machine

Or put another way was the bug in FC2 fixed?

I got into a briar patch with FC2 and messed up my machine big time.
Before I try this again with FC3 final I thought I'd ask.

As far as I am aware, this was fixed several weeks after FC2 was
released, and updated boot.iso's were released to be used as well.

So this should not have been a problem for the past 5 months.

May I also add that fixe's have been very weel documented for even longer.

Thanks Doug.

I tried to install FC2 from the download iso and trashed my machine about a
month ago. I tried the fixes posted and never recovered. I ended up
re-installing Win2k and starting over. Probably my inexperience that helped.

That sucks, unfortunately they never altered the FC2 ISO's, so you would have had to do some searching to find the "modified ones" I think a note if nothing else could have been made more obvious.

However, I have heard of no problems with FC3 installs with regards to the old problem.
