if you have just one partition for LInux OS then you cannot really do much in future - Upgrading to a new system without an independent root means you risk losing data that is on your home (equivalent of my computer on wincedows) a separate boot (which is only about 100 MB) allows for flexibility in boot up management and again sometimes if some thing goes wrong this is the only section you need to worry about. recovery of data (in the possibility of a crash becomes hard) esp if you don;t have a separate home For the past few years i have had my home on a separate partition (within extended) and have changed my distribtion version every 6 months so my home has remained the same - my data and configuration files have remained and i have pgraded to the latest OS very easily with no worry about losing data ot even as importantly some important config files / preferences. > did you have any problem when you install the linux on the Extend > Partition?? No problems - am repeating what i said earlier my own system is on extended > ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
