 == Dual-Booting F17 and F14 ==
+=== Install F17, using a LiveUSB. This would erase all the previous existing OSes (if any). ===
+* Start "Install to Hard Drive".
+* Choose "Use the entire space", with "Use LVM" UNCHECKED. Note that this is important, since using the LVM option prevents the drive to be partitioned later for the two Fedoras.
+* When asked for bootloader-installation position, choose "MBR in /dev/sda".
+* Installation should complete successfully.
+=== Re-install F17, using a LiveUSB (but this time on a dedicated partition) ===
+* Start "Install to Hard Drive".
+* Choose "Create Custom Layout".
+* Delete "dev/sda4" (extended-partition-root). This should also automatially delete "/dev/sda5" (extended-partition-leaf).
+* Now, select on the "Free" chunk (mine was 500 GB).
+** Click "Edit".
+** Select "/" as the mount-point.
+** Choose an appropriate space (I chose 300 GB).
+** Click "OK".
+** This sould create "/dev/sda4" as the extended-partition-root, and "/dev/sda5" (worth 300 GB of space) as extended-partition-leaf.
+* Click "Next".
+* When asked for bootloader-installation position, choose "MBR in /dev/sda".
+* Installation should complete successfully.
+=== Install F14, using a LiveUSB (on a dedicated partition) ===
+* Start "Install to Hard Drive".
+* Choose "Create Custom Layout".
+* Now, select on the "Free" chunk (mine was about 175 GB).
+** Click "Edit".
+** Select "/" as the mount-point.
+** Choose an appropriate space (I chose 175 GB).
+** Click "OK".
+** This sould create "/dev/sda6" as the extended-partition-leaf.
+* Click "Next".
+* When asked for bootloader-installation position, choose "First sector of /dev/sda6".
+* Installation should complete successfully.
+== Enabling dual-boot ==
+* At the moment, with all LiveUSBs removed, I was able to boot into F17 only. I could not see any option to boot into F14.
+* Boot into F17.
