I can only suggest you create more partitions during the initial install.

10-20 gig for os's, and a data partition of sufficient size for all the crap one accumulates in pc's.

a gig swap is more than enough.

ref my advanced install article for some ideas if you wish, most os's won't go over 8 gig installing EVERything on the cd. here is a screenshot of my layout, 60 gig drive,
hda1 w2k, hda5 fat32 data,hda6 swap, hda7 slackware,hda8 dsl, hda9 yoper, hda10 suse, hda11 pclinuxos, hda12 linux data.

hope it helps!

Hi Muckshifter

Looks like your multi-booting. Be carefull of getting boot viruses in Windows cause it will mess the whole thing up, and I think you know what a pain it is starting over. I had it happened to me a few times on me.

Nope ... no multi-boot here.

Thats good Muckshifter.

Your PC is solid. Multi-booting is unsafe.
