Hi Gerald, thanks for your feedback. Nice, diplomatic solution. I'll do the same if I'll ever bump again into a similar problem. I also use an old Windows XP for similar purposes; fortunately without all the obstacles implied by W7. Anyway, this saturation of primary partitions suggests that MS is trying to make the installation of "foreign" OSs more and more difficult. I don't like this at all, sounds like suppression of freedom. All the best, Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
