Installing Mandriva Linux on Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo V5535
Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo V5535
The laptop with Fujitsu Siemens brand is a new thing for me, because i knew the laptop with Fujitsu brand but not Siemens. Both names are a large player in electronic and telecommunication field world wide. And this combination brand only exists for computer, not anything else.
The Esprimo V5535 comes with Windows Vista Home Basic. And it is normal that the new computer or laptop is installed within a single partition. View full specification of Esprimo V5535 here.
Creating partition
Before installing Linux on a system that already has an operating system (OS), user have to prepare a space for Linux. User can choose either preparing the empty partition within running OS or creating a new partition by formatting during Linux installation. I choose to create empty partition on Windows to avoid erasing Windows partition (during installation).
