haven't install fedora 12 yet but i have the livecd now. how can i do it?

i was thinking they could share the swap partition right?

my computer is old, it only have 800MHz, 512ram and 20GB HDD.

i've partitioned it and put the puppy inside 6gb which is hdc1 along with the boot, swap is hdc2 [1gb] and the other partition is hdc3 and its just a space. its in the hdc3 where i wanted to put fedora.

any suggestions please?

OK
err....
How big is hdc3??

do you have a hda and hdb?

is your puppy install a frugal or hard drive install?

can you boot into puppy
open a terminal and type in

Code:

fdisk -l

thats a dash and little L

can you post the output in your next post?
copy/paste it from terminal to your posting
