NeoMayhem Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I have downloaded Mandrake 9 CD 1, and would like to set it up as a dual boot with XP, what partitions do I make for it? How big should and what format they be? Will the Mandrake installer detect windows and let me boot into it at startup, or do I need to do somthing after the install? If so, what? Thanks :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MulletRobZ Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 The minimal Linux setup will take 400 MB, but I always leave a minimum of 5 GB for Linux in case if I wish to install more software and/or create files with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
