[wellylug] Dual boot

[Richard Hector]

Hi all,

I don't think I've had a dual boot machine since Windows 3.11 ...

How easy is it to do these days? I'm looking at getting a laptop with
Windows Vista (shudder) on it; will that present any problems?

Do the silly restore disks that seem common with modern laptops
generally let you stick windows on a small partition? Or do you have to
use some repartitioning software to shrink it afterwards? The debian
installer claims to be able to do this; is that known to work with
Vista?

Cheers,

Richard
