Win/FC2 Dual Boot (was: Fedora spatial views)

[John Seth]

They still haven't fixed that yet?  I guess I am fortunate in that I am
running FC2, but I started with rc1 up to rc3 and then the final release. 
If I remember right, it was introduced in rc3 of Core2... sad to see they
still haven't found a way around it.  That "bug" would be enough of a
reason for me to use another distro, minor workaround or not.

My personal systems are all dual boot... My server systems, those are
never dual boot.
