I have F7 (and an unused XP) installed and I'd like to install F10 without bothering F7. I have separate partitions for boot, root, usr that I left empty for just this purpose when I installed F7. From the recent "Grub and two distros" thread I understand (or so I hope) that a good method to proceed is to have grub installed in the respective Fedora versions' boot partitions, and, additionally, in the drive's MBR, which will chainload these. My first question is: how do I find out whether the present grub is installed in the MBR or not. I'm guessing it's not, but how do I find out? grub.conf looks like this: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,1) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda6 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora (2.6.23.17-88.fc7) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.17-88.fc7 ro root=LABEL=root1 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.23.17-88.fc7.img title Fedora (2.6.23.15-80.fc7) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.15-80.fc7 ro root=LABEL=root1 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.23.15-80.fc7.img title Fedora (2.6.23.14-64.fc7) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.14-64.fc7 ro root=LABEL=root1 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.23.14-64.fc7.img title Other rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 and the first few partitions are Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 1275 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 1276 1288 104422+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 1289 1301 104422+ 83 Linux sda2 is F7's boot partition, sda3 will hopefully be F10's.
