justtini · 02-19-2009, 01:41 AM

I'm a novice in unix and I want to learn.
Pls tell me how to install fedora on already maked linux partition,
but I also want to preserve my windows.

please use good thread titles. This is a help forum, of course you want help...

What you're asking is completely standard, just follow the installer instructions and it should run through fine. you may want to delete the existing linux partition at the partitioning stage for clarity, but even then you should not need to.

you just start installation of fedora & when the time of partitioning come you have to select to create custom layout partitioning..
also at time of bootloader configuration select install bootloader on /dev/hda.

Thanks for your advice but I have only 1 optical unit and when I try to boot my sys is already wind ... pls help me.

your sys is already wind? I *think* you might mean that when you're putting the DVD in it doesn't boot to it? in that case you've either burnt the image to the disk incorrectly, e.g. as a file, not an image; your bios is not set to boot to it before disk or something along those lines.

I don't follow.... if you've burnt it incorrectly, you need to burn it correctly. if your bios isn't set to boot from cd, you need to make it boot to cd.

ok, so when you look at the CD under Explorer, what shows there? a bunch of files and directories or just the single .iso file?

if you want to boot from usb, try ubuntu.

please tell me witch distribution of linux have bullit-in pppoe connection

acid_kewpie · 02-19-2009, 04:10 AM

Calm down, I went for a walk with my dog for an hour, is that ok?

I can't imagine any major distro wouldn't support pppoe direct from installation media.
