Adding/Removing Ubuntu6 to FC5
Guys,
Ok so i didn't get any response here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=440995 Maybe u guys are busy, no problemo (although i wont lie i felt a bit sad) Ok now on my 2nd 80gb SATA, ive installed FC5. The partitioning details are as follows Code:
/dev/sdb1 ext3 / Primary 10.00GB Code:
/dev/sdb8 ext3 / Logical 10.00GB Now generally ubuntu will write grub to MBR and list the other OS's.This ubuntu is temporarily now as the final release will be made in June and thats my target. Questions: 1) How do i remove ubuntu later without affecting my system? 2) Now since i'll create the above directly in ubuntu (using gparted), will it conflict with FC5 or will FC5 initialize these partitions when it boots (i don't ever want to see the 'kernel panic' screen)? 3) Say i remove ubuntu by formatting its partitions either in Windows or FC5, what about grub? If i do a 'fdisk /mbr' in windows, then it'll directly boot without FC5. How do i retain FC5? IF i had it my way i would have never touched Windows, but my bro needs it for his mechanical work(Catia,Pro-E etc).But im sure i'll never ditch Fedora for anything :). Can somebody suggest on this?? Or probably point me to some links. A BIG THANKS |
1. Just remove its partitions.
2. As long you as don't change any Fedora partitions, no. Ubuntu should also be able to detect your free(unpartitioned) space. 3. Before doing any of the above, make sure you have a copy of "/boot/grub/menu.lst" Next you can simply reinstall grub and replace /boot/grub/menu.lst with the one that worked for you before... PS: you don't really need two swap partitions. |
