Yes ! All linux uses ext 2 /3 and others.. Install in ext3 // Just reformat the Ubuntu partition using SUSE partitioner..

SUSE partitioner of DVD is a bit complex . so make sure you get everything right !

Boo tfrom August DVD, start install, after the agreement, you'll see an option "Update existing installation". Choose that.
PS: A fresh install would be better.

Arey yaar, i meant to say that, "because i have Ext2IFS softy installed in my XP".

And therefore i can see ext2 partition on my XP & that is my f:

I don't know much in this open source software world.

Another which i want to ask is how to install mplayer? I downloaded it from net. The file name is Mplayer-1.0rc2.tar.
When i double click it , it asks for unzipping. So how cud i install it??
And does mplayer supports all format??

Never search for Linux software on the net.Whatever you need need is available in package manager[Ubuntu has Synaptic package manager].The tar.gz file you have includes the source code of Mplayer.

Always take care while partioning!!
Even if openSUSE doesnt recognise other OS,then dont worry. It is just a matter of adding the entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst file.
You go ahead and install openSUSE and then take it from there.

In Linux partitions are recognised as /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 or /dev/hd1 for C: and D : under Windows. Since you want to install in the 1st partition, it will be recognised as sda1 in Linux. You need to create another small partition(512 MB will do ) for Swap.

DUAL-BOOT XP & Linux

Swap is used as virtual ram(pagefile in windows)

Create the Swap from the 1st partition itself while installing

ok

in that link says swap should be 1.5-2 times of ur ram

so 1.5 GB - 2. GB space

will opensuse 11 recognize win xp sp3 and give boot menu

For upto 512mb ram, multiply it by 2 as ideal swap size. If RAM is 1GB,even 1GB RAM would do.

Most probably it will recognise it automatically, and if not, you can just add its entry in the grub after installation.

Will XP refuse to boot if installed in the 2nd partition( D as he has?
512 MB will do clmbx and be careful about partitioning.

Go ahead and install first and then ask questions

Default Re: can i install SuSE 11 with XP sp2 & Ubuntu 8.04?
before minimum info how can I install .?

I am prepairing for worst scenerio

xp not recognized
I don't have drivers (If that did not work) so I am not connected to internet
I don't know how to edit boot info in grub so win xp get's recognize and boot's

then I will have to again format and install xp to know about it

so it better be now

my intel drivers are available for suse*linus*enterprise*desktop 10

will it work on open suse 11
