I have a machine running Vista which I want to dual boot with Linux.
I have made two partions 100 G each.
After taking the default settings when installing 9.04 and installing side by side I find I have insuffient space to download updates etc.
Ubuntu complains .
Should I have selected manual partition setup ?
I was scared that it might have deleted the Vista installation so did not select it.
Is there any way now , to give Ubuntu more space in which to operate?

i had the same problem with trying to installl ubuntu, i told it which partion to use and it errored saying not enould space, finally, i deleted the partition i made, and told it to use the free disk space and it installed on the unpartition space.
