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

[Richard Hubbard]

I tried a fresh install of FC2, and wasn't able to
dual boot. on my 'actual' machine, I installed RH9,
then upgraded to FC2, and it works fine.

I think one of the bugtrak documents mentions that it
is an issue with partitioning.  I haven't tried it,
but I suppose if you partition using something other
than disk druid that comes with FC2 you will be OK. 
I'll try something with Partition Magic and see if the
dual boot works.
