IOW nothing precious on this disk, over write whats > already there. No, it's not equivalent. If you tell the installer to "Use whole disk", it will - unless I'm very much mistaken - create _one_ partition, the size of the entire disk, and install into that. If you want to have multiple partitions, and you don't have free space to create them in, then - as Brian said - you need to specify which existing partitions to delete, and then create the needed partitions (or let let the installer create them) in the newly-available free space. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
