Now my queries to help you out better. A. How Much HD Space do you have ?? How much is used by Win Recovery and Wistaa How much is used in F: Data B. Swap - depends on how much RAM you have. other can say how useful SWAP i think putting aside a reasonable about is good. The norm is 2 times what your RAM is (so if your RAM is 1 GB your SWAp should be 2 GB) this can be lowered if you are not doing intensive app usage. C. Using WUBI is nice and easy to setup but in the long run does not make for a happy experience so have you considered dual booting Ubuntu with Linux As yo already have Wince RE and Wistaa installed you can ver easily install Ubuntu and make it truly dual boot. If you do this suggest the following partitions Already Existing : 1. Wince Re(EISA Configuration) Primary 2. c: Vista Primary You can have only two primary partitions and the rest need to be under a logical partition. I have no idea what your HD looks like, or what size it is so cannot suggest anything deinite however if you can make a largish primary partion you can make the following partions _ using gparted from th live ubuntu CD just before starting the actual installation Extended Partition data Filesystem NTFS /boot - 100 MB SWAP - twice RAM / or /root - 4 GB for a very basic install and 8 gig for a more full fledged one and 12 15GIG for an install where you will never want space /home - as much (as big) as you can make it. What this basic partition does is stores all your user data in /home and keeps it from the vagaries of your Operating System located in /root. /boot controls your boot up and is good to keep seperate since it allows for better management. My partition table which is dual booted looks like this Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 21G 15G 5.6G 73% /media/IBM_PRELOAD - WInce Expee OS which came on the machine - i have deleted the recovery as its not needed /dev/sda2 20G 109M 20G 1% /media/SharedT6N - a shared drived to store wince expee data /dev/sda7 22G 12G 8.9G 56% / where linux Ubuntu Operating System is Located /dev/sda5 99M 37M 58M 39% /boot - /dev/sda9 165G 86G 71G 55% /home - my data sections SWAP 6 G i have 3 G of RAM hope this helps ram PS - wince expee , wistaa, wince RE are not trademarks and not registered to any one and may be used instead of the more commonly used names from the great company that is called M$ or some such. If you use a pirated version i suggest not telling anyone about it. After all you would then be a criminal ;-) and hence better to hide. -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
