Guys, I do not mean to say that the hosting copanies that "are good" are NOT worth the cost. I only meant you have to shell out what they ask. However, I will stick to my guns that negotiating with the hosting company to provide at least two drives that will let you do your own remote installation and boot the drive you want from the grub menu. You can always install on the second drive, and still be able to boot from the default driver and select the new installation from the grub menu. This is an excellent solution to a rather simple problem. Sure, they will ask for a one time charge for the drive and the installation thereof. But to these hosting companies, all those drives are virtual anyhow - they are allocated from a large pool of storage servers, so adding one more drive to a hosted machine (which is probably also virtual) should not be such a big deal. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
