If your current partioning scheme does fit your needs (Windows smaller than 60 gb and some space left for Linux) there is no need to repartition the disk. If you don't have space left for Linux and you don't have valuable data it is the easiest way to repartition. Depending on your Windows installation program you may do it from windows, but often Windows grabs the whole HD without giving a chance to decide about the partioning yourself. You have to use Fedoras installation program to partition the disk. You should dedicate 10 gb to Linux at minimum. > > 2.

I never used automatic partitioning. I suppose it will leave the windows partition untouched. > 3. I want to have firewall installation for linux on the machine?

There is a firewall included in Fedora which will be installed by default (you are asked during the installation process, of course, and you can change it) Peter
