Kubuntu 7.0.4 and disk partition problem

[Luca]

Thanks you very much Andrew... I'm only a little disappointed with the bad
documentation I can find on web related to this... And no help is given in
the installation procedure too.

I think I will use some know Windows resize program to obtain a new empty
partition and then install K on it!
