I am a complete newbie to the Linux world. I have a Dell desktop with Windows XP. I would like to set up a dual boot system. I have PartitionMagic so I can shrink the XP partition, but I am really not sure how to do it. Can someone please walk me through the steps to shrink the XP partition and set up the partition for Linux and install Linux. Thanks in advance, Jereme

I have not used Partition Magic but the install in SuSE 9.1 Pro allows you to shrink the Windows XP (NTFS) partition. I have done this on two machines (laptop and workstation) and it works great. I believe SuSE will suggest a shrink amount and partitions for the Linux installation during the install. It is very straight forward and you would not even have to use PartitionMagic. HTH, Darrell
