[SWLUG] Windows XP

[Julian Hall]

Hi Michael,

I've only used Mandrake 9.0 and 9.1, but both will partition the drive
during installation and can be told to use the unallocated section.  I'm
assuming here by "using less than 10Gb" you mean 30 is not allocated, or do
you mean it is all FAT32 formatted?

Kind regards,

Julian

Hi,

Just got a new laptop, with windows XP on it. Has a 40GB HDD which is not
partitioned. Using less than 10GB at the moment. Is there a linux distro
that i can just bung disk in, sit back and watch as it seamlessly installs
and partitions the drive? Or do i need to partition the drive first?

(Can you reply to the list and also this address, as i only get the
digest...)

cheers

Mikey.
