Re: [orca-list] installing ubuntu

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

If you're repartitioning in order to give the entire drive to Linux,
then you don't really want to bother with resizing. Instead, simply
delete the partitions that exist now and then create new ones of the
size you want.
 This procedure is far less likely to misbehave.
