[CS-FSLUG] Part 2 Ubuntu, XP and Fedora

[hilding]

At the installation Fedora asks You if You have other systems on your PC 
and it is noticed ahead which partition they belong to. Other - it means 
Windows XP. If You have got another Linuxdist You have to make a special 
notice about that, so I wrote Ubuntu and marked the partion sda3 if I 
remember it right. The GRUB.conf with MENU.LST must have other notices 
too. The kernel with all their figures. Before I got it right, I got 
messages like error 13 or once error 15, and the third time after 
correcting something I got all the text lying behind Ubuntu with 
everything said that usually is not seen, and at some point, I think it 
was, when almost everything was loaded, all stopped. Then I read about 
GRUB once more, and compared with another installation, made my 
correcting, and now, for some reason it is all OK, except the 
printerinstallation of Brother MFC210C in Fedora. It is a mystery with CUPS.

Celebrating Candlemass almost 2 Febr I am greeting You all on this maillist.
