No problem in principle - but there are some things to bear in mind you can have problems with using the space from e: because the ntfs partition will be after the linux partition. You may be better off doing the following if possible delete e: and h: in dos fdisk recreate e: for XP and re-install xp create linux partitions in empty space as part of linux setup otherwise you may come into problems with regard to disk geometry (not sure if this is still a problem but I have certainly seen it before) > Tips , Suggestions , Step-by-Step instructions always welcome. > > Thx , > > A Linux 'Starter' > > Kristof Van den Abeele > Belgium > > P.S. : Does anybody have experience with TV-card in a Linux > environment ( Guilemot Wintv Maxi pci 3 ) > Visit our website! http://www.nbb.be > > "DISCLAIMER: The content of this e-mail message should not be > constructed as binding for the National Bank of Belgium (NBB) > unless otherwise and previously stated. > Besides, the opinions expressed in this message are solely those of > the author and do not necessarily represent those of the NBB, which > is particularly the case if the content of the present message, or > part of it, is of a private nature or does not come whithin the > professional scope of the author." > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
