[CentOS] installing on second drive

CentOS 6.4 and Fedora 14 are both using GRUB Legacy, so it should be OK to
install CentOS along with F14. The installer should detect both operating
systems and add entries in GRUB menu for them.

If the disk with Fedora is removed during the installation of CentOS, the
system won't dual-boot... at least not without some GRUB tweaking.
