I was thinking of installing Ubuntu as a second OS on a WinXP x64 machine. So do I run Ubuntu from the Desktop CD, open a terminal window and type "gparted" on the command line? Or do I have to download gparted separately (gparted live CD?). Will it be tricky to understand how to use that -- I haven't used gparted before. Can anyone recommend a good source on how to use gparted to create a partition for Linux without messing up Windows data? Does the partition editor not work at all or does it damage things? > 2.

That's an annoying bug -- thanks for figuring that out. Mike
