Hi, I think that you have some alternatives:
* Use the Ubuntu LiveCD partition editor to resize the windows partition. * Use VirtualBox (a virtual machine, so you can install many operating systems over windows as you want) * Or try Wubuntu. I only read about it, but don't know how it's works, but AFAICT, this does what you want. Best regards, Carlos. 2008/1/11, mike coulombe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, here is my situation.
