Hi, I have Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal installed, however for my computer, it seems a little heavy on gui, I want to stick with it, however, but for some things, I'd love to get a light weight distro on there. I'm thinking slitaz will fit the bill very well.

I know I could very easily make a mess of this, and there's plenty of things on my hdd that I'd rather not screw up, but I'm going to try to do it anyway, if anyone has any good pointers on how to get slitaz peacefully coexisting with ubuntu, I'd be very interested in hearing about it, my previous brushes with grub have always been windows related, so I'm expecting things to possibly be easier in some respects.

From my (admittedly little) reading so far, it'd be best if I sorted out a partition to take slitaz from within ubuntu before even starting on this track.

Has anyone had any success with this yet? I really don't want to muck it up!

Cheers

Dave
