Two questions

[Tyler Littlefield]

hmm. could you then, use a boot simulator to just boot? or create a grub
boot disk?
I don't think grub will work on a windows system will it?
So, if something were to be written, the harddrive would have to be
detected.

process set up the partitioning for you keeping in mind that Fedora 5
installation will need to be done via telnet if you can't see to read the
screen.

however, that the boot information has to be on the drive that will be used
to start the boot up process.

forgot that linux needs to run on an ext2 or ext3 partition, instead I
created two fat32 partitions one of which has windows and the other on which
I planned to install linux. Should I delete this partition and install
Fedora on the free space or can I leave it there and have the Fedora
installation convert it to ext3? If I should delete it which is the best
way? I'm thinking about using parted in grml but am a bit nervous.

know you can boot in to it from one when beginning the installation but am
not sure if it will pick up the drive when I go to install. If it's possible
has anybody had any experiences, good or bad, with running Fedora core from
an external drive?
