grub question on fedora core 6 and debian etch system

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, Do you think it is better to uninstall the grub boot loader packages
from my debian system and let fedora core 6 handle the booting and will
it even detect debian? Should I be able to run binaries that were compiled
on fedora core 6 on debian etch what about running binaries compiled on
etch under fedora core 6?  As it says in the how to should I still add the
exclude line for the kernels if I am going to follow the directions for
having yum update my speakup modified kernel updates?  When yum does
update a kernel will it remove the old version or just keep the old
version and I will need to remove it manually? On Wed, 28 Mar 2007, Albert

I believe that to install everything you must go into custom install and make sure you select everything listed there.  I had selected all of the three groupings before going to the custom install, and found that those groupings still left things out.  So in short, you can do it, as far as I could tell, it's just more of a pain in the ass--needlessly, I suspect.
