Does instlux create it's own linux partition


Hi!
I have an HP laptop i would like to dual-boot with opensuse 11.04 on a harddrive without creating actual partitions for linux using instlux. The Wubi-installer (and i would guess mint4win) installs linux under windows as just another windows application. Is instlux doing the same? I only have the preinstalled HP-tweaked windows so i don't have the ability to re-partition (since this causes a major file system failure, not fixable without win7-disc?).

I would be very greatful if any of you have experiance with the instlux installer and have some insight on my question. Googling hasn't helped so far.
All the best,

No it isn't. You will need to repartition your drive. So I guess this is not the tool for you.

Here is someones experience of using it: Using Instlux
