Hereafter what I did (I'm not sure this the best or shortest way...however it works fine) On the third disk I created a partition +1GB type Linux. The remaining space is type LVM on which I created a logical volume 'fedora-7' (space 15GB) for Fedora. I proceed Fedora-7 installation by specifying : --- partition 1GB with mount point /boot --- logical volume 'fedora-7' with mount point / *without* any MBR or grub installation. After installation I have a /boot with needed Fedora-7 files. I modified my current existing grub (installed on my first partition) to add a stanza for Fedora-7 which specify root= ..etc.. pointing to LVM logical volume containing the / of Fedora. After reboot on grub menu I can choose Fedora-7 and boot on it. Bye, Bruno
