fc7-> marketability
at some point,  i hope to switch from being
wintel server/cisco/network guy
to a linux guy.
from time to time, i test stuff like scripts,
group policies, security, etc on w2k3

i know the dual boot howto. thanks though

tight budget

no dvd-r/w
it seems that traditional cd isos are unavailable.
{{can you run an install from a live cd? (fc7)}}

limited memory-> no vm at this point
will do later

thanks,

ron

Subject: Re: [PLUG] fc7 cds

dual booting's pretty much the same across the board no matter what distro.

1.a. if you have only one HDD, make sure there's enough space for at LEAST 2 more partitions (swap, linux OS). i'd recommend 10gb at the least. i'd also recommend more than two partitions (separate /home partition, for instance, ESPECIALLY if it's a multi-user machine).
b. (and this is the ideal situation- safer, more newbie-friendly, etc.) if you have two separate drives, use one for windows and the other for FC7.

2. from here, simply configure GRUB (it's a bit more complex but we'll gladly walk you through it. it is, however, beyond the scope of this e-mail, as there are entire books on the subject itself. that's something we'd have to help you in real-time over an IRC session or something. (IIRC, knoppix has xchat so you can IRC and use that to chroot and set up grub without an actual working linux yet)

a couple questions:

1. what encouraged you to choose fedora core?
2. a.is this a server box?
2. b. if so, why dual-boot and not have separate boxes/run a virtual machine?
