Hello,<br>
<br>
I would like to install the OS on a windows system, I don't mind if i<br>
have to shink the size of the partiion for windows as long as I don't<br>
lost any thing I do how on it which is not that much but I don't want<br>
to have to go though the trouble of doing it all again as I did this<br>
about 2 weeks ago becaouse of a issue it was having, any how I would<br>
like to test this better and seeing the live cd is working nice it<br>
should do the install as good right?<br>
<br>
Thanks ahead of time<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Christopher<br>

<br>If so, you can use a Gparted LiveCD to shrink your windows install then install your distro of choice and GRUB should detect your windows partition on install. Also, I assume this is a test box as a MythTV box really should be powered on all the times to get recordings. <br>
<br>Not sure what your skills are on Myth/Linux but the prebuilt packages are much simplier to setup, such as MythBuntu, Mythdora, etc. BUT these disks usally wipe the drive clean, including your Windows install, so avoid those and built from a basic distro. <br>
