Notes 4 Fedora 8 Linux Install on my Laptop

Hi,
This is how i have done my Linux Installation on my laptop
1. Install windows xp and create only one partition for C drive. Keep that big enough.
2. Now to install Linux, put the rescue CD and select install/ update Linux from Menu. Once it comes to a screen prompting to put the required CD / DVD, put the install DVD and continue installing Linux. While installing make the following partition
/hda1 c:
/hda2 /boot
/hda3 (204) mb for DVD player
/hda4 (Extended partition)
/hda5 LVM
/hda6 vfat d:
/hda7 vfat e:
LVM details
/ root
swap

3. After Installation in fedora the Add remove program will not work. It will now recognize the DVD rom as install media. So in command prompt do the following
pirut --repo=InstallMedia
