I've just installed Fedora 8 into my laptop (dual boot) and after i installed the updates that it recommended the bootloader now shows 2 fedoras (one newer than the other).
here is a copy of my /etc/grub.conf: -
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
-
#
-
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
-
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
-
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
-
# root (hd0,2)
-
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
-
# initrd /initrd-version.img
-
#boot=/dev/sda
-
default=2
-
timeout=5
-
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
-
hiddenmenu
-
title Fedora (2.6.23.15-137.fc8)
-
root (hd0,2)
-
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.15-137.fc8 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
-
initrd /initrd-2.6.23.15-137.fc8.img

what can i do to completely remove the older version of fedora from my system without screwing it all up? cuz if i delete the lines in the grub.conf it won't show up anymore at the bootloader but it'll still be on the computer...i don't want that.
another question, does anyone know where i can find good linux drivers, cuz my wireless requires me to do some tweaks here and there to get it working and i'm working if theres a better way (my laptop is HP Pavilion zd8000 series).
thanks

To answer your second question, Google for your card and distro (maybe add 'driver') and you'll probably still have to dig around. Wireless is tricky with Linux.

I've just installed Fedora 8 into my laptop (dual boot) and after i installed the updates that it recommended the bootloader now shows 2 fedoras (one newer than the other).
So it looks to me like what happened there is that a kernel upgrade happened between the release of Fedora you have burned and the current version in the repositories. I'm not too sure how to get rid of it, though. I found this link from this Google search that looks like it's a bit more informative than myself.

Several people asked me for the following HOWTO, so I decided to
post it here (though it is still very 'alpha' and might contain
many (?) mistakes; didn't test what I wrote, but wrote it - more
or less - during my own installation of Python 2.3 on Fedora Core 1
Linux for a friend of mine).
Anyway, HTH, L.

Hi there,
I've got a little problem while working on a bootloader for a C164
microcontroller. The microcontroller gets the data over the serial port.
I've already implemented some functions that transmit some vmc and hex
files to the controller while there is a OS running on it. But now I'd like
to transmit my one bootstrap loader and I've got some problems with the
serial communication in C.
Here's my code to configure the serial...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
