Linux Mandrake soft 9.1.4 installation?
hello
i have the installation cd’s of LINUX MANDRAKEsoft 9.1.4 with me.
i have installed the windows operating system quite a lot of times but now i want to install linux.
this installation is quite different from windows installation as it needs another partition for something called "root"
please send me the detailed procedure for its installation.
i have a samsung SV0411N 40GB HDD with 4 partitions out of which one is 5gb two are 12gb and one is 10 gb all have ntfs filesystem….where my current windows is on on 12gb partition
please help me installing this linux as dual boot system
if i have to change my partition sizes also tell the procedure for the same….
thankyou

Forget Mandrake, use Ubuntu instead. It has greater hardware support, a new edition is released every six months and it has a large user community, making getting help easier. Plus it’s easier to install.
Download the LiveCD from Ubuntu’s site and burn it (as an image) to a CD. Boot to the CD and during the install it give you the option to resize your existing Windows partition and will set up a new partition for Ubuntu. It will automatically setup a boot loader for you too, so that you can choose which operating system to boot to at startup.
See this guide here, with installation screenshots, on how to setup the perfect Ubuntu desktop.
