| 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. |
