Subject: Ubuntu installation problems
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
I have installed windows and allocated disk space for ubuntu. When I
installed Ubuntu, I saw that there are two options, one is coexistence
with Windows, and the other is another partition. What is the
difference between the first option and other partitions?
Which one should I choose?
I see a lot of people on the web choosing other partition options to
divide disk space.
Will the coexistence option with windows be automatically partitioned?

I have installed windows and allocated disk space for ubuntu.

How can you allocate space for Ubuntu from Windows? It's not possible
with MS tools. Please explain this.

When I installed Ubuntu, I saw that there are two options, one is

coexistence with Windows, and the other is another partition.
I think you are confused. If you want both to coexist, Ubuntu *must*
go into another partition. There is no other way.

Which one should I choose?

If you want to keep Windows, choose coexist.

I see a lot of people on the web choosing other partition options to

divide disk space.
Partitions are how you divide up disks, yes.

Will the coexistence option with windows be automatically

partitioned?
Yes.

I don't know how ubuntu automatically allocates partitions. Will there be insufficient disk space?

I don't really understand your question. I am not sure that you are
using the words correctly or understand what they mean.

How can we tell if there will be sufficient space? You haven't
answered my questions. You haven't told us how much disk space you
have. You haven't really told us anything, so we cannot answer you.

P.S. You don't need to include the "request" address you used to join.
P.P.S. Please trim the text you're replying to more aggressively.

Hi,

please change your subscription options at
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users.

After logging in change "Get MIME or Plain Text Digests?" from "Plain
Text" to "MIME".

If you reply to a MIME digest chose the attached email you actually
want to reply to, http://www.list.org/mailman-member/node28.html.

Some mailing lists only provide MIME digest for the digest and for the
Evolution (a MUA) mailing list, that also does use mailman, MIME was
made the default for digest, after I suggested to do so, but a year
later digest was dropped completely, since even MIME digest wasn't used
correctly and because digest makes no sense at all. Nobody ever was
able to provide a valid reason for needing digest, let alone for plain
text digest, let alone for ignoring the hint to at least change the
subject, when replying to plain text digest.

"[snip] Write your email underneath the email which you are replying to
