Hi,

Surely some of you have large harddrives!! Mines 20GB and I initially sectored off the last 5 for Linux. It didn't like that. More recently I sectored about 6 more from what was remaining for Linux. It complained in Disk Druid that the boot sector was too big!

I'm using Definite Linux v7. Should I get a different version of Disk Druid, use something else, etc.. I'd be happy to try some other distro as long as I can load some of the goodies I've got (Gimp/Star Office/...). (Actually John Masters mentioned something good - hint, hint!)

Also, should I get an install sorted and then get a new kernal (ie. a usb supported one) or...
