Re: mint4win is great........
Sorry if this is a daft question.
Please, how do you get mint4win?
I have run the 'main' live CDs of both Mint5 and Mint6, searching their desktops. I have updated the repositories and searched them, I have searched Software Portal. But can't find mint4win.
Where is it?
I guessed that if I ran the live CD, I would find mint4win. Then I would click on it to install it on my XP hard drive, and it would then install Mint.
Many thanks to anyone who can give me a clue to solve the mystery!
Cheers
Keith

Re: mint4win is great........
No It's not a daft question - I don't remember how I started it
Ah if you have Windows running and insert the CD it should start automatically.
If not try to double click mint4win.exe

Thanks Husse.
You have solved the mystery for me.
Thank you also, for all the hard work you do both on the forum and writing the newsletter.
It's all very much appreciated.

Can you change the size of the mint4win disk?
I'm just starting to use mint, and I must say, I'm pretty impressed so far. I've tried Ubuntu before, but, my wireless card didn't work. Mint worked with no fuss.
I installed it using mint4win and I gave myself 10 GB of space. I figured this would be plenty of room, but, somehow ALL of the space got used. I'm not sure why or how becuase I haven't installed that much software and I don't have ANY documents or media files (I've stored everything externally). I uninstalled WINE and some other software and when I rebooted, I had about 1 1/2 gigs left. That still seems like I've got a bunch of files I don't know about...
Anyway, is it possible to change the size of the mint4win partition? Or maybe I have to reinstall to get more space? I'm thinking I might just use an external drive for mint if I have to start over.
Thanks!

Re: mint4win is great........
If you use mint4win you don't have to give it a partition of its own
But I see that my mint4win uses 6.3 GB which is a bit more than I expected (in Vista)

Looks like this page has a way to install a partition manager that'll let you resize the virtual hard drives.Guest wrote:I'm just starting to use mint, and I must say, I'm pretty impressed so far. I've tried Ubuntu before, but, my wireless card didn't work. Mint worked with no fuss.
