The minimum disk space you need for a basic Ubuntu install is about 3GB. You can get by with a lot less if you're installing the "Server" version. (Maybe 0.5GB) If you want to change which OS to boot to, you will have to have a way to select it. There may be some hacky options like setting a bit to "boot windows next boot" then reboot to windows and the boot after that it will boot back to linux. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48998 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
