I am considering returning to Red Hat, actually Fedora, after quite a few years of using SuSE/OpenSUSE. However, before taking down my main platform, which my wife uses for surfing, I’d like to test Fedora 14 on my laptop. This raises another consideration in that I use the laptop for consulting and don’t want to endanger the Win 7 OS.
What I have done is install (transfer(?)) Fedora 14 to a 8GB SanDisk USB Thumb Drive. At this point I can boot the laptop from the Thumb Drive and start the Fedora installer. I want to install Fedora on the Thumb Drive without modifying the laptop MS Win 7 boot process.
Now, finally my questions. The installer gives me the option of installing Fedora on the following partitions:
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda2
/dev/sdb1
/dev/sdc1
Am I correct in assuming the Thumb Drive is /dev/sdc1? Will the Win 7 boot loader be modified by the Fedora installation?
I have attempted searching the list archive without success. Any assistance will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
