Re: USB Thumb Drive Installation

be careful. Depending on how you started Fedora, drive assignment can vary very much.

lookup the file /var/log/dmesg (as root), or even better, execute:

grep '/dev' </var/log/dmesg

This should show all the devices mounted, you should be able to pickup from the list what device number was assigned to your USB pendrive.

I am considering returning to Red Hat, actually Fedora, after quite a few years of using SuSE/OpenSUSE.  However, before taking down my main platform, which my wife uses for surfing, I’d like to test Fedora 14 on my laptop.  This raises another consideration in that I use the laptop for consulting and don’t want to endanger the Win 7 OS.

 

What I have done is install (transfer(?)) Fedora 14 to a 8GB SanDisk USB Thumb Drive.  At this point I can boot the laptop from the Thumb Drive and start the Fedora installer.  I want to install Fedora on the Thumb Drive without modifying the laptop MS Win 7 boot process.

 

Now, finally my questions.  The installer gives me the option of installing Fedora on the following partitions:

 

/dev/sda1

/dev/sda2

/dev/sdb1

/dev/sdc1

 

Am I correct in assuming the Thumb Drive is /dev/sdc1?   Will the Win 7 boot loader be modified by the Fedora installation?

 

I have attempted searching the list archive without success.  Any assistance will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.
