I am just about ready to try and install MythDora and I am wondering if I can install and set-up with a dual boot configuration. Does the custom install provide obvious options for doing this?
Thx,

Dual booting is pretty
Dual booting is pretty straight forward. However, If you're not familiar with fedora installers then it may be a little tricky.
If you already have Windows or something installed you'll have to first use a disk partitioning tool like partition magic to resize your current partitions and create some free space. The OS will need about 4GB or so, while the /storage partition will need ample space for recording. So when you resize your target disk make sure you free up 15-20GB minimum.
When you boot the disk into the installer you need to choose CUSTOM disk layout and create your own /boot / and /storage partitions. DO NOT HAVE THE INSTALLER CLEAR ALL PARTITIONS. You'll lose your primary OS If you do this.
The bootloader is the tricky part. I believe that anaconda will want to install to MBR by default and in my past experience it will setup the boot loader options to have an entry for Windows automatically. However If you go this route you will lose your original MBR which means no more windows boot loader.
The other option is to not install the boot loader at all, and then manually edit boot.ini on the windows partition to recognize the linux boot partition.
With either option you should spend some time on Google so that you understand how to do this. Search on Fedora & Windows dual boot or something of the like. I'm sure there are plenty of how-tos out there.

Yes MythDora can dual boot.
Yes MythDora can dual boot. This is just like a Fedora install. If your a newbie I would get familiar with things before trying this especially if you have important stuff on your Windows side. This was really meant to be a stand alone install but it can certainly be done. The Install Notes at the top covers this a little bit.
