Hello Arnt: We now seem to be getting in to very deep technical stuff, especially for me! Partitioning disks!!! The following will give you the breakdown of the PC, insofar as one hard disk known as "C" and "D" Drives.
Local Disk "C" - File System is NTFS and is called HP Pavilion (C) (Pavilion is the model that HP has called this PC). Used Space: 11.4 GB Free Space: 167 GB. Local Disk "D" - File system is FAT32 and is called HP Recovery (D) (HP is Hewlett Packard). Used Space: 3.74 GB. Free Space: 3.21 GB. I only know the terms NTFS and FAT32 in passing, but it seems that you would prefer FAT32 than NTFS. Certainly Local Disk "C" has the space to use, but there must be a reason why they call "D" 'Recovery' and it's smaller in capacity of the two! Anyway, we still have to find the "good" boot method before anything else.

First back up and defragment etc the ntfs from Wintendo, then boot knoppix and in the K menu go find System -> QTParted. ..once you play around it, you'll find it quite intuitive. Now, since you run Wintendo for a living, I recommend you restrain your urge to stomp it hard into some wee corner, leave it say 15% of air. For knoppix config and command history data, 1MB upwards will do fine, it be vfat or ext3 on the hard disk or a cheapo usb key. ..Knoppix will need 2.5GB, use the new freed space for ext3 and GNU/Linux and put Grub in the master boot record, so it boots both os'es with a nice boot menu. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
