Hello,
David, if I may suggest anything, why not to shrink Windows partition and then
run Slint installation on the empty space. You would allow Slint to do its job
on this available space without worrying about anything. The Slint installation
process will allow you to create mounting point for your Windows partition too.
I like this since it is the easiest way of moving files I prepared in Slint but
I have to finish them up in Windows for whatever reason. Most of the times I do
this with my audio stuff.
I hope this helps,
Pawel

Subject: [slint] Installing SLINT on a Windows
Age and time away from Information Technology has taken it's toll on me.
The newer types of disk partitioning and booting methods leave me confused when
they didn't before.
Is possible to use the Ubuntu Live Desktop Installer iso to install Ubuntu on a
Windows computer, then use the SLINT iso to overwrite the Ubuntu installation?
Ubuntu offers a means of moving the Windows data on the hard drive, forward and
leaving room for Ubuntu, then installing Ubuntu and all the needed booting
partitions including GRUB.
Slint is just the best distro, but I get confused with the instructions of
which partitions are needed and how large. I need an easier way to do this
these days.
Best regards,
David
