i am reading the installation documentation at mandrake
homepage to prepare myself, and a part in Installation with
Drakx it says:
Now you need to specify in DrakX where the various
partitions on the hard disk(s) will be mounted. In
Recommended mode, normally you won't have anything to do. If
you have only a Windows partition it will be
automatically resized and both the Linux partition and swap
space will be created and formatted.
I will be using recommended, and i only have one partition
on this machine so far, with windows on it, but this thing
says it will resize the partition and create and format
linux partitions, will windows be deleted, or is this a safe
partitioning of the disk, because i have heard that even
with partition magic partitioning can be a little risky.
and when it says it will automatically resize, do i get to
say how much size each partition gets? how does it work?
