Installing Corel LINUX to coexist with another operating system
Corel LINUX can coexist with multiple operating systems on the same computer. For Corel LINUX to coexist with other systems, the computer hard disk(s) must be partitioned, and at least one partition must be used by Corel LINUX. For more information about disk partitions, see "Understanding Install Express and disk partitions."
The following procedure is based on having Corel LINUX coexist with Microsoft Windows and is for experienced computer users.
To install Corel LINUX to coexist with another operating system
1. Follow steps 1 to 7 from the procedure "To replace Microsoft Windows with Corel LINUX."
2. Enable one of the following buttons:
Use Free Disk Spacethis option requires free unallocated disk space on a partitioned hard disk. Before installing Corel LINUX to this space, Corel Install Express formats this space as a Linux partition and a swap file partition. The file system format for a Linux partition is ext2.
Edit Partition Tablethis option lets you delete and create partitions on a hard disk. Before using this option you should backup important data to other media. This option does not let you edit partition size.
3. Click the Next button, and follow the installation instructions in Corel Install Express.
