HI
How can I choose to format HDD partition, when installing Linux to an existing Windows partition? Does Linux overwrite windows automaticly? Or does it install it as an dualBoot system?
Thanx

You get a choice during install.
My tip is to read the excellent user guide!
Read more about it here:

Thanks...
I've read that... OK!
But, next question: Why is'nt there anything about installing/removing drivers in that User Guide?
I would really, really like to know: HOW DO I INSTALL DRIVERS TO MY HARDWARE IN LINUX?
And don't ask me if I'm sure it is'nt allready working, because its NOT!
Have never installed a Linux distro where everything worked "out of the box".
It cannot find network controller nor network device!!!
Damn!! Drivers are available for linux on the vendors support sites!
D-Link PCMCIA DWL-630 card.... On a Omnibook 900... Worked fine with Win2000!!!!!!!!
Is there a "device manager" in linux?
