I am using Mandrake2006 at the moment and I plan to add kubuntu as an extra system (dual boot). I have never done this before so I have some questions. I am trying to be as prepared as possible before I start. Disk Partitioning I have 134Gb free space on my HD. Some (lots?, most?) of that will need to be allocated to kubuntu. Some will need to be kept back for Mandriva. Can I expect the kubuntu installation program to handle this disk allocation and partitioning for me, automatically? Broadband Will the installation program find, setup and configure my broadband connection (as long as the router is up and running, of course) for me automatically or will I need to do some weird and geeky things myself? I do realise that I will need to configure any email clients for myself, and I am happy with that. Gnome Programs I believe that kubuntu is in effect ubuntu but using the KDE Window Manager instead of Gnome. Does this mean that gnome will actually not be present at all? If that is the case then ...... There are some programs (eg Galeon, Gnucash) which are officially gnome programs, although they run happily under KDE. If the Gnome WM is indeed not included does that mean that these gnome programs will also be missing? Any help will be gratefully received Neil Winchurst -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
