(If not, how were you booting?) When you installed FC6, you told anaconda not to install grub. It left the MBR alone, meaning it left the F7 grub intact. What did you expect? If you think there is a bug in F7 anaconda, please wipe the hard drive's MBR with, e.g. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=2 Then please install, and carefully tell anaconda not to install a boot loader or to use the partition's boot record. Then see what happens when you boot. Also, an accusation of lying is an accusation of deliberate malice. Please be very careful with such accusations. > > To get back up I had to re-load FC6 and make it use grub. For future reference: you could have booted the installation CD in rescue mode, done a "chroot /mnt/sysimage", and run "grub-install /dev/hda". -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
