47gig free need partition for other os

[dontgetshocked]

I have mint installed on my 80gb drive and want to install another distro alongside it! So far none of the distros I have tried have been able to do this themselves.How can I partition the drive for another distro? I have gparted installed and on cd.Please walk me thru the steps,
Thanks,
Dave

There really isn't a secret way to partition a hard driver that would require a walk through. What distros have you tried installing, and what happened when you tried to partition? If you could not partition, explain why not, and if your got errors, post them.

Thanks anyway! I solved the problem by installing xfce as the desktop manager and it sped things up considerably.
Thanks,
