If I am reading this right you still have unallocated space on
/dev/sda?
Option 1:
If that is the case then with the DVD install just create a new logical
volume (ie /dev/VGNAME/rootf8lv) to install Fedora 8 into that logical
volume. You can tell the install to use /dev/sdb1 as your /boot again
and tell the installer to not format that device which will preserve the
old Fedora 6 kernel files. (You might have to manually edit the
grub.conf to add Fedora 6 as a boot option afterwards.
Thanks for answering. I think that I will follow option1; but what is
unclear for me is: how will I access logical volumes from volume group
sdb2+sdc1?
My idea is to devote sda to the system, so one vg on sda2 with logical
volume usr, swap, tmp, opt, var, and use vg sdb2+sdc1 for data,
including home.
Right now, home is on /dev/mapper/fedora-home and mounted from /dev
which is on sdb1.
As soon as the new install will be booted, this /dev won't exist no
more, because is it created if you boot with the "/" partition on sdb1,
for the new system, it will be on sda1
There something there that I do not understand, so I might be unclear
myself....
