Greetings; I just bought this thing, and have spent the evening doing a little housecleaning and exploring using the deafult XP Home edition OS thats on it, and trying to get used to the 'mouse' tablet as a navigator tool and have a few questions. And please excuse me but this is the first 'windoze' machine I've ever bought. If I wanted to put linux on this, should I use the i386 dvd of FC5 I already have, or go get the AMD64 version? It has an approximately 7.5GB partition D which is an image of the install for recovery usage. I've no idea where it is on the disk but I'd assume (theres THAT word again) that its at the inside of the 100GB drive thats in this. So the question then is how does one go about clearing some space to make room for an FC5 install without losing that inside partitions location data and hence that whole partition? Thats enough questions for one message I think, and many thanks to those who attempt to help a windows newbie get back to his favorite OS. :-) -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
