Dear fellow testers,
On a machine running Fedora 9 along with WindowsXP(hosed), I decided to wipe out the NTFS partition and install Fedora 10 Beta. I will have to try and fix the boot to boot both Rawhide and Fedora 9, but that will be an exercise for later. I booted with ext4 option and did a custom boot, and had a hard time fixing the partitions so that I could install it.
Original layout:
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l

Partition table entries are not in disk order

New layout after I finish installing and testing back. I had no ext4 option only ext4dev, is that the same? As soon as I can boot the new system, I will get back!
