I've been reading a bit on this board, and so thought it might be worth adding a bit more to my original post.
My situation is thus: I was given a work compter (at...er...work  ) which came with Windows 2000 installed. I was kinda interested in this cause I'd heard good things about Win2000 but had never used it before. Well, I wasn't given admin privilages with the computer, therefore I was unable to load up programs like Firefox, Thunderbird, etc that I was comfortable using. The computer had a 5 gig partition that wasn't being used, so I decided to load up Ubuntu 5.10 on that partition. However, Ubuntu runs really slow on this computer (Celeron 1ghz, 128mb RAM). So, I thought, this would be a good time to try out DSL.
I want to keep that Win2000 partition for the sole fact that it's set up to use the office printer via the office network. I was thinking about doing a HD install, but after reading the thread about a frugal install, I've decided that would be a better option.
So, I want to do a frugal install and keep the Win2000 partition as an option at boot time. During the install process, will I be given that option? And, if so, is it a command line thing?
Thanks.
