hi everyone,

I need yours sugestions, I got new dell notebook (latitude e5510) and beside win7,
I would like to try Fedora also. Problem is that laptop already have 3 partition-
which are- OEM partition-39 MB (I dont know for what is this)
recovery partition and OS partition with win7. Now if I create LVM drive I will
have 4 partitions and couldnt create /boot partition on separate primary partition.
As I understand, Fedora/Red Hat cannot have /boot on LVM.
Any sugestion?

Thx

You can use the 4th partition as "extended" partition then create sub-partitions (e.g. partition 5 and 6) of the extension - One for /boot and one for your LVM physical volume (PV).
