I have never tried to set up a dual boot system before and I am a bit concerned about partitioning the HD. At the moment my HD is set up entirely for Mandriva as follows /dev/sda1/ 5.8Gb for root /dev/sda6 139.9Gb for /home I have over 134Gb unused on sda6 When I try to install kubuntu will it think that the whole disk is allocated to Mandriva and that there is no room left? If so, do I need to do some repartitioning via Mandrake before I install kubuntu? Or will the kubuntu installer help me with this? I could, for example, leave about 20Gb for Mandriva and leave the rest for kubuntu. Can anyone help me with this please?
