Fedora Core Doesn't Like to Dual Boot?
schwatoo writes "It seems Fedora Core doesn't like to boot alongside Windows 2K or XP. According to a bug first reported in February on Fedora's bugzilla site it has a tendency to chew up partition maps making it impossible to dual boot into Windows. No one seems to know quite what is causing the problem and a lot of people are ending up with unbootable machines."
You got to know someone at M$ is pissed they never thought of it before.
Thanks a lot. We get an interesting topic and you had to go and look up the answer. I thought the whole point of slashdot was an understanding that none of us actually read the article, let alone find new material on the matter!
I am so disillusioned right now.
In the Microsoft world this would be considered a feature.
Wow, can you believe it?? People have different standards of conduct for convicted monopolists than they have for honest companies. And they're willing to cut a company that hasn't pulled this kind of crap before more slack than a company that makes a habit of it.
How crazy is that?</sarcasm>
Hmm... So you're one of those anti-zealot zealots.
I'm trying to figure out what zealot-free system you'll be able to run...
Linux? right out.
Windows? Nope: OSS is "a cancer", DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS!
Sun? No, they were head ABM cheerleaders until a couple of weeks ago.
Apple? Obviously not.
Amiga? Nope: the OS was perfect in every way, only a conspiracy kept it down.
VMS? Ditto
OS/2? Ditto
BeOS? Ditto
*BSD? Maybe, but then again there's more than a few anti-viral license zealots
Netware? Possibly, but now they're in bed with SuSE.
Tandy TRS-80: That's the ticket. Nobody will admit to having used it, much less spew zealotry about it. What's more, you can pick up spare machines on ebay for a couple of bucks.
