Ok, I'm just now getting on the dual-boot bandwagon, and it's not quite
as easy as I had expected.  I'm installing on an IBM Thinkpad with a
60GB drive, and WinXP Pro is already installed on hda1 (factory load).
I used qtparted to size down the partition to 25GB, and wanted to setup
a 10GB partition for Linux (Fedora Core1).  I read through this
(http://www.hut.fi/~tkarvine/linux-windows-dual-boot-resing-ntfs.html),
but couldn't get it to install.  At the point that it should / would
normally start copying files, I get an error stating that I am probably
out of drive space.  I had setup [swap] (hda2 = 512MB), /boot (hda3 =
100MB), / (hda3 = 9[ish]GB).  So, I figured I'd dorked something up, and
restarted.  Same thing (I went as far as to delete the partitions so
that there was just the 25GB NTFS, and a blank one).  So then, blew away
those partitions (that Linux created) again, and started the install
again, this time choosing the "Personal Desktop" option.  Same error.  I
think I'm just missing something, but can't seem to figure out what it
is.  I know that there's sufficient room there (on / ) for it to
install, or should be at least.  What am I missing?
