(I know this is fairly hard to do reliably because of many factors) and then prompt the user to partition the harddrive (with a GOOD accurate description of what they should do). I think it could be good to have a menu item that says *Install Alongside another OS manually *This should have a good description of what to do (maybe with weblinks... xdg-open http://someaddress.org ) and take the user to gparted automatically (while still showing the description in the main window for easy reference). This may be the best way to make it clear. Thoughts? ** -- Regards -Israel ToriOS Team
