It's exactly the same. If you've partitioned with, say /home, /opt, /u, /data or whatever (as a substitute for D:) on a separate partition, the install process will ask if you want to reformat partitions. Just say 'no' to reformatting those where your data is. IMHO, like most things in Linux, it's actually easier than Windows. > > At 03:38 PM 7/24/2002 +0200, Evgeny Limarenko wrote: > >/boot should be of small size like 32Mb.
