I've done it!

Hi,
I've got myself mandrake 8.2 now off the front of a linux mag.

It wasn't the 8.1 that I wanted but I though £5.99 for a magazine and mandrake? I can't go wrong.

Well, actually I could.

The last distro I installed was redhat 7 that installed perfectly onto my desktop with some partitionless install system. Great i thought, my laptops got 5gb of free space, I'll do the same there.

Unfortunatly I couldn't do a partitionless install (I don't know if its just a redhat thing or what) so I resized my FAT partition. With this at its smallest and the most basic linux packages I would still only be left with 1 - 2 megs of free linux space.

So I didn't bother.

So I had to decide whether to wipe windoze and go just for mandrake or leave it as it is.

I left it.
