Hello. I had used Wubi as a convenient way of using Linux. Recently, due to a computer virus that plauged my parent's PC's (not mine, hehe. I was running Kubuntu), I installed Wubi to let them use their PC's and backup their documents and then wiped their hard drives and installed Vista in one partition, and apparently, Kubuntu in the other. Hehehe, actually, Kubuntu ate up 30 Gigs of the Vista partition and left the D drive intact, a setup which I quite liked. Thanks to that nifty feature, I'm planning on doing the same thing on my own lappy.
The questions are:
Can I migrate my Wubi installation to a proper EXT3 one? (Prolly not)
Will Kubuntu always eat up half of my Vista installation? I am currently backing up ALL my documents into the D drive in order to make space for Kubuntu. It MUST shrink the Vista partition and then make the EXT3 partition out of the empty space.
I pretty much know the rest (Windows and Linux sharing document folders, installing my NVIDIA drivers, setting up the firewall). But I need to know that.
Thanks.
