Please give more details about this, cos I don't want to risk my partitions with this stuff.
Is there any way to recover if something went wrong?

I tried to install openSUSE packages but they used to fail as they needed LZ compression I recently upgraded to Fedora 12 and came to know that RPM packages now use XZ/LZMA compression.Hence I knew I would get past the rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.2-1 is needed error without any work on my part. So I thought it would be easier now to try installing openSUSE packages and gave it a shot. I was successful this time. Here (http://harpreet.in/blog/2009/11/29/gfxboot-on-fedora/) are the steps I followed to get it working for my system.

Hope this helps people who try it in future.

Although the last post looks to be helpful I'm closing this thread as it is three years old.
