[Ilugc] setting up dual boot

this is my current partition - when I tried the dual boot, I had 40
GB
of free space also.
post the output of 'blkid' (as root) to know current partitions
alongwith
filesystem status.
[root at xlquest lawgon]# blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="00de097a-9323-433f-83a9-1858f44602d0" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda2: UUID="b86bef0e-3402-41b2-b814-3e9f870fb2f7" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda3: UUID="1c6294e2-e738-4282-b666-0a783988dd08" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sda5: UUID="b81886a1-ffd8-4e1c-a8b2-f9a0599768c5" TYPE="ext4"
As mentioned in your initial post, you already have 4 partitions /, /var,
/home, swap and one extended partition (sda4). From the above output, it
looks clear that there is no additional free space available to install a
dual distro.
Better post the content of 'fstab' here to know the mount points and its
filesystems.
