RE: A. Mani : Update Question

This should be reasonablly trivial I would have thought.  The installer on FC3 should let you do this I would imagine.  You should manually partition the free space so that the installer has no choice in where it installs the OS ( and thus giving you reassurance that it won't blow away your existing install).  It might pay to print out a copy of your existing grub configuration incase the install process doesn't add your existing Fedora install.   In that case it will be just a matter of entering the relevant block into the FC3 grub config.

Subject: A. Mani : Update Question


Hello,
         Actually I want to update FC1 by FC3 to a separate partition 
without affecting the FC1 system. The original production system is on 
multiple kernels (2.4....2.6.5), KDE3.2 and has a lot of compiled and 
rpm packages installed. How do I do it ? Will label tricks suffice by 
any chance ? The usual update install will update at the same location 
only, right?

Thanks,

A. Mani
