And now...partioning...I need your HELP.
This is what I did so far.
1. Used Vista to 'shrink' two partitions.One the real ntfs part where
Vista is installed, the other a Vista recovery partition.
2. Booted the fc6 dvd and am trying to partion it properly, so that
Grub (or similar program) prompts with boot options.
Here is how anaconda sees the disk (1 disk).
MB
/dev/sda1 vfat 55 1 7
/dev/sda2 ntfs 7240 8 930
FREE 3000 930 1313
/dev/sda3 ntfs 45703 1313 7139
FREE 37349 7139 11901
/dev/sda4 Extended 2048 11901 12162
/dev/sda5 vfat 2047 11901 12162
I need a swap partion, bootloader (in addition to the one there)?, and
main / partition.
I tried letting it do everything automatically, but it complained.
Please advise.
Thanks

The problem is that an x386 machine can only have 4 primary
partitions. According to partition table provided, your hard drive
already has 4 primary partitions defined (sda1 - sda4). You'll have
enlarge your extended partition (sda4) to include the free space
before it. You can then install fedora on expanded extended
partition. Unlike their windoze counterparts, fedora /boot, /, and
swap partitions can reside on extended partitions.
Additionally, you may wish to move sda3 so that it borders sda2 to
capture the free space between sda2 and sda3.
