I'm trying out Fedora Core 3. I presently have Suse 9. How can I delete the Suse partition along with Grub to install Fedora? Or will the Fedora install routine give me that opportunity?
Thanks.

If you want a completely clean install of Fedora, just use the partitioning utility in the installer to delete all partitions currently on your drive.

Will it delete "Grub" as well? Or will I have to go a different route for that?

I am not sure if you can do it through Fedora (you prbally can though), but you can go to the following

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrive Tools > Computer Management > Disk mananegment

Right click the partitions you want to delete and delete them. After that is done you will need to fix your MBR. To do this you need your Windows installation disk. Boot it up and go into the recovery console and type fixmbr.
