Questions on Linux OS

[Lisandro]

After the 'Preparation' step of the installation, SUSE will bring you the 'Installation' step itself.
Select the tab 'Expert'
Then click 'Change...' and then 'Partitioning...'.
Choose 'Create Custom Partition Setup' and then click 'Next'.
Choose 'Custom Partitioning' and click 'Next'.
There you'll be able to Create, Edit, Delete and Resize partitions.

Maybe starting resizing the Windows one 

Again, it won't be easy to follow and help you further. You'll need time and reading to do so.
Probably you'll mess, be wrong, etc. I see no other way to learning

Hi,

Ok I have figured out the installation part, but I would like to know how I choose what OS I want to boot, I think it's F8 but when I tried it, it did not work.

How I choose what OS I want to boot, I think it's F8 but when I tried it, it did not work.

If you install LILO or the SUSE boot loaders into the MBR, Linux will boot and you'll have to change it's settings to load Windows.

If you them into the partition (not the first one), the system will boot what is set into the MBR. For instance, if you install Windows XP in the first one (C:) you can boot Windows and use the tool bootpart to boot any other operational system (http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm).

I really suggest the use of Bootpart.
Other good utility is GAG (http://gag.sourceforge.net).

Hi,

Ok I have Linux running with Windows, but I can't seem to get the wireless internet configured so I have no internet configured for Linux any tips on configuring the internet on Suse Linux would be awesome. Also Suse is setup so when I boot the computer it comes to the Suse screen and asks what system I want to boot.

Thanks,

But I can't seem to get the wireless internet configured so I have no internet configured for Linux any tips on configuring the internet on Suse Linux would be awesome.

Run YAST2 (The SUSE Control Panel and check the hardware and software configuration). Also you should adjust the network/bluetooth settings.

Hi everyone,
 I've just joined because I'm looking to install the anti-virus on Ubuntu (Breezy Badger).

 I use firestarter firewall and it's good. If your bios is set to boot from CD and Ubuntu doesn't boot the boot option is probably missing from the CD. Ubuntu will ship bootable CDs free from ubuntu.com/org (i think it's shipit.ubuntu.org).

If your existing partition is FAT32 it can resize it and set up dual boot with Windows.

I only use linux (ubuntu) online now, but keep windows offline for multitracking! (cubase haven't done a linux version yet).

P.S. How do I install the antivirus on Ubuntu?

Thanks!

Use the built in package manager to install Aegis. When prompted, add the repository of your choice and click install.
Easy.

Welcome to the avast! forum fairdoes!

I am also trying out Ubuntu but I haven't installed an AV yet. You can try ClamAV through 'Synaptics'. I haven't tried avast! Linux Home Edition but if someone has instructions on how to install it on Ubuntu that would be great.

Thanks everyone!

I read the 'readme' (belatedly) and it doesn't need installing! It runs self-contained from the place I downloaded it! Nice work Avast! !
