    Goodbye windows! (almost. I need help!)

    That's it! I'm getting rid of it! Well, actually I'm gonna make it a very small part of my HD.
    The only problem is that I can't figure out how to partition my HD. I'm using a Dell Inspiron notebook, and the recovery cd (the one that has windows release 1 on it) asks if I want to reinstall windows. Will the cd let me repartition my HD, so that I could have XP take up like only 2, or 3 gigs?

    Not needed, you can use qtparted to resize the windows drive.

    just type
    sudo qtparted at a console.

    Be sure to defrag first.

    You'll be choking windozeXP by only giving it 2 or 3 gig, especially if you plan on using it. It almost needs that much to run......
    Knoppix will do what you need. Go for it.
