Hi!
Here is an overview of my experiences with multiboot (2 - 4 Linux distris and Windows).
There are at least 3 possibilities installing a multiboot
(where Linux 1 is a distri with Grub legacy, Linux 2 a distri with Grub2):
I) First installation: A Linux2 (as Ubuntu, Mint, Sabayon,...)
afterwards installation of other distris.
An
as root in
Terminal / Konsole Linux2 will find your other distris and generate "
grub.cfg"
con: after kernel updates (other distris) you have to run again that command to update "
grub.cfg"
II) First installation: A Linux1 (as openSuse, Mageia, PClinuxOS,...)
afterwards installation of other distris.
You have to edit "
menu.lst" of Linux1 by adding 3 lines
Quote:
title LinuxB (hdx,y)
root (hdx,y)
configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
|
or line 3:
configfile /boot/grub/grub.conf
or line 3:
chainloader +1
pro: once done - if it works - it is not necessary to edit.
III) I never had installed Fedora as my first distri, so I don't know how to proceed;
I suppose you must add those 3 lines to your
grub.conf of /dev/sda (
menu.lst will be changed automatically).
I would first try with "chainloading".

Edit:
1. Of course you have to change (hdx,y), e.g. /dev/sdb, partition 7 ->
(hd1,6).
2. The relevant files
menu.lst or
grub.cfg are in /boot/grub/.
