Will FC5 recognize another HDD/OS on Install?


I have been trying a few linux distros recently on my system. It consists of two HDDs, the first is 100GB the second is a 300GB. Currently I have Ubuntu on the 100GB and SUSE on the 300gb.

I'd like to give Fedora Core 5 a spin, and replace the Ubuntu install, but keep the install on the 300gb (SUSE). When I installed Ubuntu, their install process recognized that SUSE was on the other HDD, and at the end, it wrote out a combination GRUB so that when I rebooted I could choose which install to boot. I didnt have to modify the GRUB myself. SUSE also has this capability.

Has anyone had experience in doing this with FC5 to know if FC5 uses GRUB and will create a combination GRUB menu (menu.lst) at the end of the install?

Thanks in advance for your experiences.

Yes. FC5 did recognize correctly my SuSE 10.0 and Windows XP.
Anyway, in the installation process there is a grub section where you can review the selection.
None of my 2 previous OS were damaged and both are booting fine.
