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

My tip is to read the excellent user guide!
Read more about it here: http://www.linuxmint.com/forum/viewtopi ... =17&t=9053, or download it - in english - here: [url]ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/linuxmint.com/4.0/LinuxMint-4.0-User-Guide_v1.pdf[/url]

Re: Format HDD during install
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?
