	He could, instead, use a cd like the system rescue cd to shrink the 
vista partition then create a new partition with the newly available 
space to put on Kubuntu.

	I would rather suggest, if you really need windows, to completely 
deleting vista and then re-partition your hard drive like above.  Then 
find a copy of xp somewhere, install that, then install Kubuntu.  I 
tried installing the ultimate crap M$ calls vista on a few machines, it 
is not good. :)  In one case, I was simply setting up a friends new 
computer with vista.  Vista was already pre-installed, but a glitch in 
it caused me to use its restore function and it cost me two hours of my 
time and that was even before vista first ran.
