A Live-CD (DVD) will, all that I know of, *always* over write an existing install. That I know of anyway, They are a 'write this to the disk' system. It has been a long time but I (me!) do not know of a Live-CD that does disk partitioning. Maybe Now you mentioned Windows. *If* you have Windows install you need to 'shrink' the Windows section and make a place for the Linux to be installed. If you have Win 7 it has a disk partitioning program to do that included. Else you will have to use something else. -- David -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
