In a Suse install is it possible to generate free space during setup or i need to prepare my partitions before ?

:offtopic:

It depends on how youre running it.. if youre running it through windows... then windows handles the partition.. if youre running it on straight linux.. then linux will do it.... (which is what you want because you want the linux kernal running... not windows)

FYI ... suse does do automatic updates
Sweet! ;) But my install is going slower because I first updated Ubuntu 6.10 to Ubuntu 7.04 and it was great. I screwed up my folding folder so I thought I would do a fresh install for the heck of it, and in comparison the Ubuntu 7.04 fresh install was not half as good ad the update from 6.10. I lost all screen resolutions and refresh rates, it was terrible. Worked fine just looked like crap. I asked viper to post a short tutorial for the commands to install the SMP in Suse in the F@H thread. If he does this before i finnish this 6.10 update. I will just install Suse and say to h--l with Ubuntu. :offtopic: ;)

EDIT: Anyone running Ubuntu 6.10 use the update manager to upgrade to the new version 7.04. Do not do a fresh install unless you have to! :) By the way whats Vista??? :rofl:

I am talking about booting and installing from my Suse DVD, like i did with Ubuntu... I just wanted to be certain that Suse setup can resize my existing NTFS partitions to generate free space to be used with linux. If Ubuntu setup did it so i think that Suse's will do too.

Its not prob anyways, cuz i can resize within windows before booting from DVD. Anyway i wont install it until tomorrow night... :offtopic:

Thanks anyways VG :rofl:

In my experience all the Newer Linux distros do that! :offtopic:

I used the update manager to update from Ubuntu 6.10 to Ubuntu 7.04. I dont know if it is my hardware setup or what, but I have to say I was quite disappointed with the performance of the new release. Ubuntu 6.10 (on my rig) out performs the new 7.04 by so much it is not funny. :P Im not trying to stir up trouble or debate here just relaying my personal experience. I am trying a different Linux distro right now and if it does not work out I will absolutely go back to Ubuntu 6.10. :sphere: :(

EDIT: Maybe the Feisty Fawn is not ready yet? :rofl:

I think it has to do with how you did it. For example when you set up 6.10 you had certain things going when you updated they were still going the same, but when you did the clean install you forgot them?
I did a clean install of 64bit feisty an have had no troubles an its going fast an great.
