Replace Vista with Ubuntu in a Vista/Fedora dual boot
 

I have a Vista/Fedora(FC11) dual boot and would like to replace the Vista partition with Ubuntu. Is there an easy way to do this? Can I just pop in the Ubuntu install disk and replace the Vista partition? Will the grub2 bootloader automatically detect Fedora?

My "df -l" output is below

Yes, it probably will. Just pop in the Ubuntu disk, and when you get to the partition stage, select "Configure partitions manually (advanced)" or equivalent option, then opt to format your Windows Vista partition as ext4 and, in the "Mount Point" box, type a single '/'. Then, click "Install now".

I have formatted the Windows partition and I can put the "Boot loader" in the same partition. Will this boot loader automatically scan the system and find my fedora installations (and give the option to boot in to Fedora)?
Thanks

You don't put the boot loader on the partition, you put it on the whole device (the Master Boot Record). It is GRUB, and it usually will recognize the Fedora partition.

Thank you - am going to try now.
Fingers crossed!
