Triple Booting

[Paul Harper]

I posted this on Slashdot. I use Ubuntu as my main
system but need to learn about WindowsXP and rpm based
systems for work:

First I think the book will be a great way to
introduce Linux to new people.

I am by no means a computer expert. More of a user
really. I now have on my Laptop Ubuntu (as my main
working system, Windows XP for doing lab experiments
from the SANS Security Essentials Toolkit book, and
Fedora Linux also for experiments and so I learn how
to use rpm's as well as Debs.

Basically I used a Knoppix cd and QTParted to create
an NTFS partition (/dev/hda1), two EXT3 (/dev/hda5,
/dev/hda6) partitions and a Swap partition /dev/hda7).
I then install WinXP first. Then Ubuntu. When it asks
where to put grub in my case I put it on /dev/hda6.
Then I install Fedora. In my case during the Fedora
install I format the /dev/hda5 and make it the / root
partition. When it comes to the part about the Boot
manager you need to Add /hda/6 and name it Ubuntu. I
chose to make Ubuntu my default.

Then You need to follow the steps in the
www.ubuntuguide.org to get your multimedia working.
About a half hour of cutting and pasting. For Fedora
this may help:

There may be an easier way but it works for me.

It said Windows98 or better on the box so I installed
Linux  

Is there any easier way?
