OK, I booted both Kubuntu and Ubuntu. Since all I have is wireless, I couldn't connect to my router with Ubuntu because you have to download the utility to connect from the internet. Thats kinda dumb. With Kubuntu, it already had the wireless assistant installed. So I searched for my router. It finds it easily. I choose the auto configure IP option, then enter my WEP key. For some reason it says connection failed. It may be because, when I started the program it said something like this "You may need administrator privileges to use this program" (The wireless assistant). But, I have no idea to find out if I'm administrator or not. I run Kubuntu right off a CD. So I don't know what kind of account I am using. I would like to know that I can connect to the internet with Kubuntu before setting 35gb of space for it. That was question one.
Question two.
When Linux partitions a space on a hard drive I'm pretty sure it changes it from "NTFS" to some other file system. So When I partition it, it won't work for windows anymore. I found this out installing Kubuntu on a 40gb Hard drive and finding out that windows can't read the drive anymore. So my question is. Why does Ubuntu have an option to partition as little as 710mb for the installation, and Kubuntu requires you to at least partition 35gb. Is there a way to make Kubuntu take less space when installing.
Oh one more thing, If I want to change the partitioned space back to NTSF, how would I go about doing that.
Sorry for the long winded post, Anybodies help would be greatly appreciated for these questions.
Thanks in advance, and for the previous post.
