installing kubuntu- what should i do next
 

i am trying to dual boot kubuntu and windows on my computer. i have shrunk my windows partition, or data partition by 25 gb. i want to know what i should do after i free up the space. i dont know what to do next. am i ready to go in right from the cd and install?

yep, as long as there's space, go nuts. The installer will handle everything else, like the bootloader.

This may help, I found it useful the first time I did it...

hm. the problem is, i cant go nuts. i have the free space that4 i have freed up right now. its freed space that has been shrunk off my data drive. but i cant use it for some reason. says its unusable. this is where i'm stuck. shouldnt it jsut create a partition using the free space?
