So while I congratulate you on your success and do note it, I'd like to remind all and sundry of the "bleedin' obvious, aint it?" that relaxing requirements can avoid a battle, that BtrFs was not included to vex and challenge us.
I hope the XP was fully patched!
XP was not touched, not my bussiness (I just verufied it started).
I signaled the case because the error message come at the very end of the install, it's only to avoid starting again.
Yes, but you do not have to go with defaults. I would not allow btrfs on an old machine for two reasons: it needs more space (I would start at 50 gigs), and more workload (disk and cpu). I would use ext3 or 4 on root. On the other hand, the solution your friend suggested, creating a /boot partition is correct. But I would create it with ext2 (two). Although no need to shrink /windows, it can be anywhere. Even a logical partition works. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
