This is no more different than installing say Fedora on one partition and SUSE on another. If you are concerned about partitioning delete the FC3 partition(s) first and have FC5 use the free space. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
