	Do not do this. It is not a good way to go.

	You have not had experience with partition changing and the 
boot loader Grub. Ubuntu has both on all their models. I like 
the 9.10 model.

	If you have a LiveCD of Ubuntu 9.10 boot up in that and with 
Partition-manager LOOK at your hard drive. See if you can see 
how to change partitions so you have 2 of them for Ubuntu. One 
should be about 10 GB and the other 3 GB called swap.
