The Kubuntu install will let you use QTParted if you have some custom
partitioning issue not handled by the defaults. I think the click the button
and go first choice is a default that will shrink Windows and install Kubuntu
on one partition on whatever % of the disk you want. But I haven't fooled
with it in a bit, and maybe I partitioned by hand.
I did install Kubuntu on an XP box without incident, but I can't remember
exactly what I did, and I know a lot about disk partitioning, and exactly
what I want to do, which makes things inconsequential to me which might be
mind boggling to a newbie.
