Re: [orca-list] Installing linux with windows 10

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hello Daniel,

My advice is to shrink the partition (or volume, in Windows parlance) from
Windows itself before installing Ubuntu. Hopefully the Ubuntu installer 
should
the be able to find the space you will have freed and install Ubuntu there.
You will have to check as I don't use Ubuntu.

I have written instructions here for Slint (but this should work for any
distribution as the commands are to be typed in Windows):

Best regards,
Didier
