Yeah there's a couple of things. First, not that I personally care, but |
| 15 |
top posting is considered bad form on most lists. Second the tool you |
| 16 |
used on YellowDog was probably QtParted. I have found that the System |
| 17 |
Rescue CD (www.sysresccd.org) includes QtParted and I've used that |
| 18 |
almost exclusively for the last 3 years or so for changing partitions to |
| 19 |
dual- or triple-boot my systems. Download that and try running the |
| 20 |
install without ANY linux partitions in the free space and it should work. |
