[plug] Fedora Core 2 and dual booting Windows

[Ben Jensz]

This is just a heads up to anyone out there who may put Fedora Core 2 
onto a machine they are wishing to dual boot with Windows.

There is a problem in the installer that modifies the hard disk geometry 
in the partition table incorrectly.  Basically what happens is that it 
modifies it in such a way that it doesn't bother Linux... but very much 
so does bother Windows (in that it won't boot at all).  It is a problem 
with the anaconda installer and not grub.  LWN have an article about the 
problem here:  http://lwn.net/Articles/86835/

I strongly recommend anyone who is going to setup Fedora Core 2 to dual 
boot with Windows reads that article first, as there is a way to prevent 
the installer from buggering it all up in the first place.
