Hello Everyone...

I am about to install Fedora Core 3 tonight and i got few questions:

1. Does Fedora Core 3 come with any partitioning tools that suppost NTFS partitioning or do i have to use the knoppix tool or my partition magic software...

2. If i like fedora core 3, then i will look to buy another hard disk for my pc so in one hard disk is only windows and in one hard disk is only linux? <-- is this possible?

3. I used many other linux distros and wasnt happy about their package managers. In Fedora Core 3, is it possible that after i install an application, for the application to appear in the applications menu?

Thanks,

Eagle101

1. No. Knoppix does with qtparted, though, and it is a good free alternative to Partition Magic.

2. Yes. Very easy.

3. Not sure on this. I use fluxbox and am used to a quick edit of my menu file to put the app right where I want it.

I am not sure about fedora core3, but core1 allowed me to resize my ntfs partition.

and it depends on the rpm to whether or not it will be installed in the menu not the program itself.

Are you sure? Fedora Core 1 & 2 (haven't used 3 yet), would let you delete NTFS partitions quite happily w00t.gif !
But it wouldn't resize to save its life. i had to resort to 3rd Party tools for that. I'm pretty sure there was no resizing going on.
