I have little experience with this stuff I would recommend that he buy Partition Magic. It will safely and reliably repartion his disk on the fly (with the data in place, but of course do a backup first anyway) and allow him to create a free space partition to put Linux in. Partition Magic also includes the OS/2 boot manager, which I prefer to LILO (I've had some problems with LILO on the Fujitsu I use at work, and now I'm gun shy). I install LILO in the Linux partition and let the OS/2 boot manager handle the actual configuration on any machine I'm dual-booting. I know that LILO works very well for most people, so maybe he'll want to use it. Partition Magic is very good anyway, though, and I think he'll like it. It can even read (but not manipulate) ext2 partitions. TL 2.0 release will be out in about two weeks, if everything goes according to schedule. Your friend may also want to wait until then to do his install, since even if he put in the just-released beta 3, he'd just be looking at another install soon. Unless he's the adventurous type who would like to play with a beta :-) Cheers, Jonathan Byrne Media and Content Section 3Web - Your Internet Solution! <URL:http://www.threeweb.ad.jp/index.en.html> -------------------------------------------------------------- Next TLUG Meeting: 13 June Sat, Tokyo Station Yaesu gate 12:30 Featuring Stone and Turnbull on .rpm and .deb packages Next Nomikai: 17 July, 19:30 Tengu TokyoEkiMae 03-3275-3691 After June 13, the next meeting is 8 August at Tokyo Station -------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor: PHT, makers of TurboLinux http://www.pht.co.jp
