Linux Live CDs

Posts Tagged ‘dual-boot’

i upgraded to windows 7 about a year ago and i like it a lot.much better than crap vista.but i have been playing around with some linux live cds of late.i tried ubuntu and passed on that.tried fedora 12 and liked very much.but my favorite linux distro i have looked at is pclinuxos 2010 .it blew me away.if it wasn’t for windows 7 i would dump windows all together and go pure linux.my problem is i like windows 7 and pclinuxos a lot.what little i find on the net says windows 7 and pclinuxos 2010 don’t get along.can i dual boot 7 and pclinuxos 2010 or do i have to make a choice.would love to have them both.thanks to anyone who can give me a straight answer.

I want to dual boot the full version of Linux, Fedora… with Windows 7 which is already installed, the problem is it comes with the GRUB loader, and that’s a problem because the last time I did that with Ubuntu, I was very unsatisfied with that installation of Ubuntu, and it was better from a live cd. I booted back into Windows and deleted the partition of Ubuntu, and didn’t touch the GRUB loader and the system crashed. I re-installed ubuntu but then windows didn’t work at all.

Now I wanna try Fedora and I tried it from a live USB (another install of ubuntu worked except flash player)… I wanna use Fedora but I don’t want to deal with all the GRUB krud again, the NT boot loader is better in my opinion…

I’ve been trying to get Fedora Linux onto my Vista laptop where I can dual boot and I can’t seem to get it. I made a partition already that is 50GB and booted up into Linux with a Live CD. I went to the desktop and opened the install to HD option and got up to the part where you chose how to install it onto there, etc. I would like to dual boot and use that 50GB as a Linux OS. How do I do this?
