Sorry to be the beare of bad news, but you won't get the best out of
linux if you have 1.2 gb - I tend to go for 2gb installs. Also you have
that Other Operating System (?) on there so you actually have quite
a bit less that 1.2gb to play with. I've just had a look at my laptop
which has a fairly minimal install on it and that has 600mb of linux
on it - and of course you'll need some free space for the future.
Try and get another drive - I know it will cost some cash but
you'll be much happier in the long run. Perhaps you could find
a second user 2gig somewhere?
Better still junk wind*&^ (oops - almost said the Word)
May the fish be with you.
