Dear fellow testers,
On a machine running Fedora 9 along with WindowsXP(hosed),
I decided to wipe out the NTFS partition and install Fedora
10 Beta. I will have to try and fix the boot to boot both
Rawhide and Fedora 9, but that will be an exercise for
later. I booted with ext4 option and did a custom boot, and
had a hard time fixing the partitions so that I could
install it.

New layout after I finish installing and testing back. I
had no ext4 option only ext4dev, is that the same? As soon
as I can boot the new system, I will get back!

Installation succeeded :) Booted to Fedora 10 Beta. Noticed that OpenOffice
Writer/Presenter/Calc show up as
FMenu --> Office -->
OpenOffice.org .0 Writer
FMenu --> Office -->
OpenOffice.org .0 Calc
FMenu --> Office -->
OpenOffice.org .0 Presenter
respectively!
Q: Is this a bug, in the other machines in which I run Rawhide I saw them ok, but now
that I look they are same? Did not even notice :(
New fdisk and grub.conf file. I will need to modify in order to boot both Fedora 9 and
Fedora 10 Beta.
