Re: [orca-list] GParted Live CD with Orca?

Hey folks,
I am new to the list, and I just started using Orca and Ubuntu as well. 
Demetry I don't know how this compares to a separate partition, but I chose 
to install Ubuntu within Windows. I believe it was the second option. What 
ends up happening is Ubuntu creates a directory in the root of your Windows 
partition called (Ubuntu). It also gives you a boot menu at start up and so 
far all seems well.
Question for the long time users: is this OK to do, or would it have been 
better to resize my Windows partition and install Ubuntu in its own 
partition? It was very easy to install this way because it was just like a 
typical Windows install with Jaws speaking through out.
Should I redo my install? Are there any real disadvantages?
Looking forward to using Ubuntu and Orca,
Vinny
