This is how I generally do it - as I setup/sell machines with dual-boot quite often and dislike "future issues" - and most of the machines that cross my path have at least the one 40gb drive: * Win2k/WinXP partition: 10gb (primary partition) (Installed before any other OS) * Linux parition: 8gb (/boot is a primary, all the other partitions, if required, are extened - and I LOVE ReiserFS) * Data (shared) partition: 22gb (FAT32 partition sharable between the two OS's) K.I.S.S. ...and if you want to go one better, you can just install MDK on the whole lot, and then use VMWare to run Win2k inside of MDK... (Then you never have to reboot...you might have to close down the VMWare session with Win2k, but hey, we're all used to that...) -- Thu Jun 19 21:30:00 EST 2003 21:30:00 up 6 days, 4:44, 2 users, load average: 0.03, 0.02, 0.07 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * There once was this swami who lived above a delicatessan.
