Hi folks,
I ran LVM partitioning HD at time of installing FC5_64

During installation I tried to retain an empty primary partition for
LinuxOS to test multi-boot without success. It needed a mount point
therefore I was compelled to create /tmp.
Now I want to move /tmp back to FC5_64 / and use its space for / of
another LinuxOS and repartition with LVM the unallocated space creating
a partition of 10G for its /home. Please advise how to proceed. TIA
Besides is there any way to create an empty primary partition at time
of installing FC5_64, without mounting it
B.R.
