I would like debian to continue to handle booting of both systems or should I uninstall grub and the grub-doc packages from debian and have fedora core 6 boot both operating systems? Also, How do I tell the fedora core installation program to install everything on the DVD as I heard I think from someone on this list that there is no longer an everything choice for installation. Is it possible for debian and fedora core to share swap partitions and is there still an 128 MB limit on the size of the swap partitions? If I uninstall the grub packages from debian will the grub boot loader that is already installed into my master boot record still boot even if the grub binaries are not on the system? What else should I know that is different between the fedora core 3 and the real fedora core 6 installation process?
