The partition structure is independent of the type of file system created on those partitions. I.e., it is not necessary to repartition a drive (that's already partitioned) in order to install Linux. Now, if what you want is to have both Linux and Windows installed on a given partition, that's another thing. As far as I know, there's no overlap between the directories used by Linux and those used by Windows, so if Linux could operate with a root file system that is NTFS, then this should be feasible. As far as my limited understanding goes, NTFS is sufficient to support a root file system, but I can't say for sure whether that is true. Clearly, the kernel would need to incorporate the NTFS-3G driver so the kernel and the running system could write to its NTFS root volume. > -- > -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
