"Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions"


If you are installing a dual-boot system that includes a Windows operating system,
install the Windows system first and the Fedora system afterward. Some Windows systems
blow away the Master Boot Record (MBR), making the Fedora partition inaccessible.
If, when installing Windows or Fedora, you find that the other operating system is no longer available
on your boot screen, don??™t panic and don??™t immediately reinstall. You can usually recover from the
problem by booting with the Fedora emergency boot disk and then using either the grub-install
or lilo command to reinsert the proper MBR. If you are uncomfortable working in emergency
mode, seek out an expert to help you.
Red Hat provides a description of how to configure a dual-boot system at www.redhat.com/docs/
manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/ch-x86-dualboot.html.

Beginning the Installation
Once you have selected the right type of installation for your needs, you can begin the installation
procedure. Throughout most of the procedure, you can click Back to make changes to earlier screens.
However, once you are warned that packages are about to be written to hard disk, there??™s no turning
back. Most items that you configure can be changed after Fedora is installed.
