Hi; I have 3 hard drives in my machine. The latest is a 160GB. I partitioned it into 3 primaries, 79/2/79G The 2G is swap, the others ext3. I loaded FC6 onto the first, set it up and "yum upgraded" it. This gave me multimedia via livna and my user stuff. I also removed all the disk labels and fixed /etc/fstab. Then I booted to the FC5 and mounted FC6 under ~/tmp and the blank under ~/tmp1. I used konqueror under KDE to copy the contents of tmp to tmp1. Fixed up /boot/grub on tmp and /etc/fstab on tmp and tmp1. Booted up FC6 on tmp1, changed the yum repos to devel and "yum upgrade" to rawhide. Now I have a working FC6 and Rawhide on the same drive. Very fast and worked fine. Mick Death before Decaf!!! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
