Neat concept. I'm guessing I will not<br>> be able to use it, though, without administrative privileges. I<br>> could<br>> not even install PuTTy.<br>> <br>> Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I made a start today and<br>> quickly<br>> ran into a new twist: Windows 7, unlike XP, is installed across all<br>> four partitions of my hard drive. When I tried to install Ubuntu my<br>> only choice was to wipe the entire disk. The solution, I learned, is<br>> to use a built-in Windows utility to shrink the size of the partition<br>> it uses, and _then_ install Linux. Most of the sites that discuss<br>> this technique recommend making a rescue CD to boot Windows. I did<br>> not have such a CD with me, so I will try again tomorrow.<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> clue-tech mailing list<br>> clue-tech@cluedenver.org<br>> <a href="http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue-tech">http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue-tech</a><br>_______________________________________________<br>clue-tech mailing list<br>clue-tech@cluedenver.org<br><a href="http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue-tech">http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue-tech</a><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>clue-tech mailing list<br>clue-tech@cluedenver.org<br><a href="http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue-tech">http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue-tech</a><br></blockquote></body></html>
