http://crunchbang.org – hi xtro,you posted in the "Testing/Unstsable" section, so I assume you want to install #! 11. In such a case the installer comes only with graphical interface, so everything is pretty much straightforward. You just have to manually assign mount points so that your M$-win partition won't be touched...If you are not sure how to proceed you can always play around with the installer into a virtual machine and/or come back for more help/troubleshooting... [edit]as m5 said, google and the internal search on the forum, are always your friend in these cases[/edit]P.S.: please, try to us (HowTos)

Minor annoyance with installer 30 weeks 3 days ago

I have an NTFS partition which I use to store data and which is shared between Linux and Windows. When I got to the disk partitioning stage of the install, I was unable to set a mount point (or anything else) for the NTFS partition. Not a problem particularly because I was able to manually edit /etc/fstab to automount the NTFS partition once F17 was installed.

This is my first time with fedora, I have been using ubuntu, gentoo and debian. One thing that i'm missing from ubuntu is the good looking fonts . I made a few rpms with ubuntu patchs for those who want to try:

[ubuntu] delete partitions 13 weeks 5 days ago

I have 2 hard drives and need to remove on 1 Ubuntu 12.10 so that I can install XP Pro. I tryed using Gparted but it gave me the error message, "The partition could not be unmounted from the following mount points. "/" Most likely other partitions are also mounted on these mount points. You are advised to unmount them manually.

I have an older machine onto which I'd like to install XUbuntu 12.04 32bit desktop. I have prepared the CD, and can boot from it, but the graphical installer is slow to the point of uselessness while running from CD. I do want to install xfce, I just want to avoid the graphical installer.

Resize ext3 during install 3 years 26 weeks ago

I would suggest that you don't do it.

I've been using Kubuntu for several years now (and Fedora and RedHat before that) and decided to give openSuse a try. Looking for more love for the KDE version of my distro basically. Anyway, the install was pretty rough.
