Dual Boot FC5 and XP on same disk

thehpi
Hi, I'm wondering if it is possible to install FC5 in an empty partition on a disk where also XP resides. I know FC5 uses GRUB to handle any multibooting but am not sure if this requires FC5 to be installed on a second disk.

zenarcher
Most anyone trying SUSE 10. 1 quickly became aware of update problems. Even YAST must be fixed and the best work-around is to use SMART package manager. You should download and install the SMART packages from GURU, as GURU has already added most of the necessary update channels for you.

SUSE 10.0 and ALSA 1.0.11 release versions

jdkoola
I am running SUSE 10. 0 on an old Dell Dimension 4100. I am having trouble with a new sound card I purchased (Creative SoundBlaster SE), which are documented on the hardware forum. Any way, according to ALSA's website, one possible issue maybe the supplied version of ALSA with SUSE 10.
