If people blindly follow your instructions and have (more likely these
days) a Vista or Windows 7 PC, they will most likely corrupt their
existing installation -- by allowing the Ubuntu installer to shrink
their Windows install.
If you're going to put stuff like this out the the community, you need
to be careful to qualify it by indicating it is for Windows XP, NOT for
Vista or Windows 7 users.
If you intend this to be used by Vista or Windows 7 users, you need to
add wording about using Windows to shrink their OS, NOT using the Ubuntu
installer or GParted.
Also, because installing dual-boot runs the risk of corrupting the
Vista/Win7 boot loaders, which generally does not happen with Windows
XP, you need to add instructions for folks to obtain Vista or Win7
Repair CDs -- so they can repair their boot loaders. Mark Phelps

“the ancient destructive urges in, us, that grow more deadly as our populations
approach in size and complexity those of ancient Mars. Every war crisis,
witch-hunt, race riot and purge…is a reminder and warning. We are the Martians.
If we cannot control the inheritance within us…this will be their second dead
planet!”
