| 218019 | 2004-02-25 04:05:00 | Hi there was hoping someone could help me? Can a duel boot system be set up from linux fedora core 1? I know in windows xp you can go control panel / system / advanced / startup and recovery / settings. I whant to be able to choose operating system and set a bootup time delay, is this possible? |

| 218020 | 2004-02-25 04:57:00 | when you install fedora, you will have a different boot loader. It is called Grub. When you set up fedora, you can set all your preferences then. Grub is configured by fedora cores installer (anaconda) then afterwards, you will have to edit a config file. Most linux config files are easy to config. Hope i help |

| 218024 | 2004-02-25 09:23:00 | An OT comment... "duel" refers to an arranged fight between two persons with deadly weapons "dual" simply refers to double, or two, or a pair. I can't help thinking that the incorrect use of "duel" may in fact be more appropriate after all, in these situations. |
