I will be converting from WindowsXP to Ubuntu in a couple weeks. During the installation process, will 12.04.4 ask me what size of the partition I want to create? Is it necessary to create a partition? When I last installed WindowsXP on my laptop, I did not create a partition.
This is my laptop. A Toshiba 1.60Ghz with 1.96GB RAM Pentium(R)M. So again, if I create a partition size would you recommend and why?
