I finally wiped the whole machine, yet again, with DBAN -- and had another crack at installing CentOS on one hard drive, with FC6 on the other. I thought I had figured out what to tell anaconda when. CentOS does connect, without a hitch; I installed Pine, Opera, and a couple other things, and did yum update, without a hitch. But I was wrong yet again about how to set up the dual boot -- it's trying to use rootnoverify in /etc/grub.conf, which doesn't work; and I shudder at trying once more to gnaw my way through the available grub instructions to dope out precisely enough how to make the FC entry look enough like the CentOS entries. Any hints on a sure way to install either of these OSs after the other? I suspect, it'll be a lot easier to re-do the install -- especially now, before I get any data on that drive -- or even tweak my workspace. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
