install another linux distro through a different linux?

can you do that? like you can update and upgrade it, but is it possible to upgrade into a different linux distribution? i have ubuntu, i heard fedora core 6 is better. so can i install it through ubuntu instead of using a live cd? thank you, any help is greatly appreciated ;)

  1. The best way is to create a partition for Fedora, I use fdisk but ubuntu may have some gui tool, boot from the Fedora install disk and install into that partition. After that you need to make your boot manager that Ubuntu is using aware of the kernel image that Fedora is using. I use to copy the kernel from one linux boot partition/directory to the my main boot partition/directory. I believe with some boot managers like grub you can just point grub to the boot directory of Fedora. Make sure when you install Fedora you don’t install a boot manager.
