Installation of Fedora over SuSE

[Francois Ouellette]

Got the patched image for the partition editor (see Bugzilla bug #138419)
and all the "probe_partition_for_geom()" errors disappeared when using the
patch.
I manually created the root and /swap partitions and then everything worked
fine. After about 30 minutes (on a 1 GHz machine) the installation
process was complete and FC3 booted normally.
I haven't played too much with the system yet but so far I like it, it's
different (can't say what, looks more UNIX?), it also seems less memory
hungry and faster.

Well, there seem to be disk geometry issues with FC3, similar to SuSE.
I am collecting data and patches from the Fedora forums to find a fix but so
far the disk druid can't figure out my partitions!
