My firs attempt to install Linux to my computer failed totally. After it I had to reinstall all. The first Linux was Fedora core 3 or 4. After trying other distros I recently installed Fedora Core 5 which I like very much. It's slick (very fast) and looks nice. But every time I start Fedora a message appears: "100% disk space on boot is in use". Does that be a problem in the future? Recently I have three hard disks on my computer as you can see: [code] [root@localhost fossiili]# /sbin/fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 1 8001 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda2 2 4358 34997602+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda3 * 4359 9729 43142557+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda5 2 4358 34997571 7 HPFS/NTFS Disk /dev/hdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 14 19457 156183930 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/sda: 122.9 GB, 122942324736 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14946 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 255 2048256 b W95 FAT32 /dev/sda2 256 14946 118005457+ 7 HPFS/NTFS Disk /dev/dm-0: 157.8 GB, 157806493696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19185 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk /dev/dm-0 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/dm-1: 2080 MB, 2080374784 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 252 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk /dev/dm-1 doesn't contain a valid partition table [/CODE] hda and sda are used by Windows, except hda1 which is a souvenir from my last trip to Fedora Core world , what to do with hda1? hdb is a large disk 160 GB and allocated for Linuxes. There were some partitions which I had thought for Fedora's use. Unfortunately I was frighten while installing Fedora because I remember the previous Fedora installation. I did not find the way to get partition manager to do what I wanted so I gave all hdb to Fedora. The installation seemed to proceed well, but after it I could not start neither Fedora nor Windows. Fortunately I could repair Windows installation and also the Grub, thanks to good advice from different countries. I know, that LVM makes me possible to change logical volumes but not just the one were /boot is residing. I am not very keen on installing Fedora again, but is there any other possibility? Is it possible to repartition hdb in Fedora so that I could install an other distro also to hdb?
