Installing to a freespace should be uncontroversial indeed it's the

Samuel points out earlier in the thread
The criteria specifically refers to installing to freespace, so other
than the single partition reference what is the problem? If the user
wants to install alongside a default windows install, they will either
have to resize the partitions on their own or risk letting the installer
resize it (if it will).
I can kinda see Johann's point, which is that - since most dual boot
installs will require a resize - if we don't 'support' resize, we're
really not 'supporting' dual boot installs. He's not wrong. But overall,
I think it's worthwhile having the criterion to ensure that, as cmurf
said, we at least make sure we get the bootloader stuff right at release
time.
Yeah that was my point.
If we are going to support dual boot we should do so fully (
freespace/resize/boot loader entries windows/linux linux/windows
linux/linux )
If we are not or simply cant ( we should be able to at least support
dual booting linux/linux ) we should not have it in the criteria ( but
still could perform the tests )
