I think that can learned from thread title.

Tread lightly...

I've been fiddling around with an Ubuntu, Fedora dual boot the last couple of days and it's definitely an "advanced" undertaking.

Part of the problem is a :grub2, legacy grub conflict, and then Ubuntu would install a "regular" partition, and Fedora would install something called a LVM partition.

Anyways, I finally just dual booted to Opensuse/Ubuntu. Those two play together just fine.

Good luck...

Maybe this post can point you in a good direction:

Just recently, within the last 4 weeks or so, I made my laptop to triple boot; XP, U10.04, and F13. Had to do some trial and error but I did get it to work.

Hope this helps.
