Hi Paul,

Tks for your advice.

cat /etc/fstab

If I understand your advice correctly /tmp will be automatically
created on / (LogVol00) during reboot.

I'll not delete LogVol02 and will use it to install 2nd Linux OS.  Also
I'll create a 5G partition on raw partition as its /home

/boot will be shared by 2 OS.  This partition can be detected by grub
because not on VolGroup00

That is my mistake.  This is my first time using LVM.  After successful
completion I'll have 2nd round, wiping out the whole HD.  However this
is a little bid pitty because it took me sometime to install FC5_64. 
There were lot of problem before running "yum update"  Either the mouse
pointer or the PC hung.  It is quite stable now.

Others noted with tks.
