A few questions about Linux installation
- Thread starter ahsia

Mandrake can do whatever Fedora can do and visa versa. The major difference is the packaging.
You can delete the Mandrake stuff if you want, but it will probably screw up the MBR so that you can't get into windows, however once you get Fedora installed it will install it's own bootloader and you will be able to configure it to get back into windows just like with mandrake.
That is, of course, if your using a linux bootloader.

Pretty much. Fedora installer should detect windows and set up the boot up. If that doesn't work then you can always go in and manually configure the bootloader menu after the installation is finished.
And fedora like every other Linux distro will be able to read from ntfs partitions, but won't be able to write to one.

you'll need an RPM for that 😉
Fedora's default kernel doesn't include NTFS support. Kind of dumb, but it's just not selected in the kernel config. You'll have to reconfigure the kernel to include it, and I don't know if Fedora will let you do that before it installs, so you might have to rebuild the kernel after it's installed.

That sucks. I didn't know it.
I hope this helps!
I havent used Frdora ever )dont think I might be using it for a while: unless debian goes REALLY downhill 🙂, but I remembered reading about fedora + ntfs somewhere, and I think this was it!
