As I understand the Live-CD installs to the primary (boot) disk. That would be sda. It will have a / in sda1 and a swap in sda6. It will be LVM. >> I would seriously doubt that you could update a Fedora >>Core 5 install directly to a Fedora 10 install anyway. > ??? this doesnt make sense to me. > I thot the liveinstall was a fresh install, > nothing to do with "update" So you are trying to keep FC-5 and install Fedora 10 on a different physical drive? I thought that you were trying to update the FC-5 because FC-5 is so old, out of date, and a possible security risk since it is not getting updates. It takes the install DVD to actually install Fedora 10 on a drive other that the boot drive. Again.
