Hi 1) I want Fedora to run With RH5.
Fine. Fedora and RH5 don't have the same binaries and such, so other than sharing /boot and the swap, you really need enough free disk space
(e.g. a partition) to install Fedora into. If you used LVM, you may be able to shrink your existing RH5 installation to free up space for the Fedora partition. Post the output of "fdisk -l" and the output of both "mount" and "df -h" so we can see just what your system has going on.
2) I want to have the option to boot into Fedora or the RH5 in GRUB
Fine. Entries in /boot/grub/grub.conf can handle that. The Fedora entries will need to specify the new partition as the "root=" parameter to the kernel line.
3) I have a 1024MB swap in RH5 can I used it in Fedora? or It need another 1024MB swap
Swap is swap. Yes, it can be used in both.
4) I have a 100MB boot in RH5 can I used it in Fedora? or It need another 100MB boot
If there's enough room in /boot to handle the Fedora kernels and initrd images along with the RH5 kernels and initrds, yes, it can be used.

I have following partitions of RH5: 100 MB boot 1024 MB swap 8 GB root 3 GB opt Did I need another set of above partitions for Fedora. or I can use same boot and swap partitions for Fedora also.Are you going to replace RH5 or do you want Fedora to run With RH5? Do you want to have the option to boot into one or the other, or do you want them to run simultaneously with one running in a window on the other? Are you leaving RH5 or wishing to upgrade to Fedora to get some of the newer functions available in Fedora that have yet to be released into RH? Just a couple clarifying questions so we can better help.

If you have sufficient unallocated room, set up a separate partition for the Fedora system. If you have to have a separate /boot partition below cylinder 1024, you may be able to share your existing one with RHAS 5. The simplest solution, if you have room in the box, is to install another hard disk, and install Fedora to that. After the install, you can modify your grub.conf to boot either system.Imran Shafiq KhanCheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc. bob@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.bobcatos.com "My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water."
