You're an idiot. I have had systems with 5 OSes on them at the same
time.

I have done plenty of Linux installs, and nearly ALL add menu
selections for windows, beos and other systems.

If you have ANY brains, you do NOT let linux "set things up" for
you. ANYONE with ANY brains goes through the pain of learning how to,
and setting it up him or herself.

That is a ridiculous statement you have made.

What's your point?

As it has been with everything else you've written, you
know nothing about this subject while understanding less
than nothing.

I'll repeat it since you're a slow learner:

A properly installed Linux uses all the available
partitions.
