And now...partioning...I need your HELP.
This is what I did so far.
1. Used Vista to 'shrink' two partitions.One the real ntfs part where
Vista is installed, the other a Vista recovery partition.
2. Booted the fc6 dvd and am trying to partion it properly, so that
Grub (or similar program) prompts with boot options.

Here is how anaconda sees the disk (1 disk).
                                   MB
/dev/sda1   vfat            55           1          7
/dev/sda2   ntfs            7240       8      930
FREE                          3000   930     1313
/dev/sda3   ntfs          45703   1313    7139
FREE                        37349   7139  11901
/dev/sda4  Extended    2048  11901  12162
   /dev/sda5 vfat           2047  11901  12162

I need a swap partion, bootloader (in addition to the one there)?, and
main / partition.

I tried letting it do everything automatically, but it complained.
Please advise.
Thanks
nat
