Setting up dual boot
I'm wanting to set up a dual boot system with the active partition being Ubuntu Linux 6.06 and the secondary OS being Windows XP (currently Windows XP is the OS on the drive). Does Linux include a partition program that can merely resize the current active partition to shrink it down and therefore make room for Linux? Or can I just go into the drive manager in Windows and shrink that down from there and then set up Linux on the space I have left over? Let me know if you need any more information.

Hi,
Been a long time since I've been over this way. Just thought I'd pop in. You will find a utility called GParted on your Live/Install disc for Dapper. That should enable you to resize your partions. Be sure to backup all important stuff first!!! OOPS!
