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

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

PS In any case, be careful not to shrink too much the Windows system volume:
keep at least 32G above the minimum size as a Windows update can need that
amount of space to be applied (thanks Jean-Pierre André, developer of 
ntfs-3G,
for this information)
