What? you don't have to reinstall Windows to install Fedora alongside it. Almost all OEM preloads of Windows are simple installs, just what we list in the criteria and what we test: they just have a single big partition with Windows on it (and maybe some system restore partition as we discussed earlier in the thread). I'm not sure if you're being obtuse or just misunderstanding, but it is generally the case that you can take a perfectly normal OEM Windows box, maybe resize the Windows partition (or just add another disk), and install Linux alongside it, and it'll work fine. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
