Hi

Well of course it would.  You will have to boot up with the file system you wish to use for that level of operation.  I'm sure if you boot into FC6 and not trying to boot 2 operating systems at the same time you will have success.

If you want to understand how an operating system works why read the Linux From Scratch book as I've already directed you off of this list.  You simply cannot mix and match as you are trying.

Gena

Subject: Re: grub question on fedora core 6 and debian etch system


Hi, I have fedora core 6 with speakup installed but now when I chroot
into the mounted partition using debian and even in the installation
envirnment I received this error message when trying to upgrade yum
Error: Missing Dependency: yum = 3.0.1-2.fc6 is needed by package
yum-updatesd
How can I fix this problem,  I emailed Bill about the grub issues but
would like to get this yum issue fixed so I can update packages.  I
followed the directions on speakupmodified.org to have yum update my
speakup modified version so do I still need to add the exclude line as
it states in the howto?On Fri, 30 Mar 2007, Janina Sajka wrote:
