I think I may have solved the mystery of my wireless problems - I'll report

Fedora. I'd like, if possible, to keep Linpus Lite, as I found that having
the easy interface on the EeePC was very useful when strangers were curious
about it.
Linpus appears to be using about 8GB, so I figure that if I shrink its
partition to 12GB that should be plenty for anything I'll ever need. I'll
then do a custom install of Fedora. I've not done a dual install like this
before (apart from windows dual-boot). Can I expect that grub will recognise
and set up the Linpus installation, or am I likely to have to do some jiggery-
pokery to get things going? If there are any problems I want to know about
them before I start :-)

The way I boot my other distros is to install one installation on the
MBR for grub and then chainloading the other installations as is common
with MS installs.
For Fedora, you can select where to install the bootloader in advanced
options. Selecting each install to put grub in its boot partition on
other than mbr allows all distros to be independent of the other during
updates to each distribution.
Some install grub in the mbr and chainload all installations from the
switchboard type of install. I never tried it that way but it sounds
versatile.
As Craig stated the methods used should be available in the list archives.
