[Wiltshire] Ubuntu dual boot auto partitioning?

[John Callam-Anderson]

WOnder if anyone can give me a little advice? I've got to the 
partitioning stage of my first dual boot Ubuntu install. I have a 20GB 
XP system partition and 54.4GB free space (was my XP storage/data 
partition).

If I select "Install them side by side" I can slide the slidey partition 
thing (whatever that's called), but I don't see any Ubuntu partition 
until I slide it into the XP one (thus reducing the windows space).

If I choose to "Use the largest continuous free space" I can set the 
partitions with the slider correctly to the XP/20GB Ubuntu/54.5GB I 
want, but then I'm not 100% sure it's going to sort all the Grub 
business for me and let me choose which to boot. Or am I going to have 
to sort it manually?

Hoping to finally make it to a meeting this month .. :)
