Hi, I'm getting Linux for my PC and am about to partition my HDD (10GB or so) and my questions are:

a) Easy to do? I run NTFS at the mo.
b) Can I partition off more space in the future for Linux if I so desire?
c) How do I set up the dual boot process?

Many thanks in advance.

Drac,

Suse lets you create a Linux partition as part of the install and a linix loader (LILO) boot disk which you can use to boot into linux or leave it to boot into windows as normal.

Cheers

Gary
