Hi,

Plz reply.

Yes,of of-course
Please make sure that in the later version you must enter the configuration of older.
steps after installing new :
1.mount the old OS boot file in any directory.
2.copy the configuration lines IE kernel lines
3.paste in the new grub.conf properly.

also be advised
fedora 14 is a dead version
it is Past it's END OF LIFE

there is and there will NEVER be any more support for 14

please stay current and install fedora 16 or in a few weeks fedora 17

You can have as many versions of ns-allinone-2.xx as you want,
installed at the same time. But do not add any of them to a *PATH.

( The binary 'ns' is hard coded to know where its libraries are located.)
