Hello,
I just set up a machine so that I could continue testing the daily
builds of Ubuntu GNOME without disturbing my "production" machine which
is running Ubuntu GNOME 13.10. I only do upgrades to this machine
without doing fresh installs -that is what my test machine is for.
My experience with the test machine is as follows.
The computer has two hard disks which had nothing but free space before
installing 13.10. During the initial installation I installed 13.10
to /sda using lmv. Unfortunately, upon rebooting the machine 13.10 would
not load. I could not determine if this was a hardware or software
problem.
Next I tried a dual boot with Windows. Again after installing 13.10 only
Windows would load - not at all what I wanted.
Finally I tried a dual boot with Fedora 19. I installed Fedora to /sda
using lvm and upon rebooting the machine I was able to get into the
GNOME desktop. After that I installed 13.10 to /sdb. Upon rebooting I
obtained a grub menu allowing me to choose which OS to boot. Final
result - I can boot into 13.10 and Fedora 19.
Cheers,
Joe
