1300352 2012-09-14 02:10:00 Well all - have set everything up correctly (I think :p) and am about to let it rip. We shall see.....

Thanks for all the help.

1300353 2012-09-14 02:28:00 Good luck! KarameaDave (15222)
1300354 2012-09-14 02:42:00 Well, looks as though all went well - it said the installation worked, and I'm in windows now downloading easybcd. Will see how I go. Nick G (16709)
1300355 2012-09-14 02:43:00 Grub is just as good and it gets set up automatically on install so why muck around with EasyBCD. Because that's what Nick wanted to do ;) pcuser42 (130)
1300356 2012-09-14 03:26:00 Boot and home?! How large a partition would you put each of them on?
Not sure if you have grub2 but I set /boot to 80mb
/ to about 100GB and /home as big as you can.
/swap I usually set to 2GB If it needs more than that you need more memory.
I have Firefox / Thunderbird / Lazarus (full IDE) / Synaptic / KDiskFree / Conky / Libre Office and a game all open and am using 887MB of 1.73GB without it using any of the swap file.
