How much room for a partition with kUbuntu Linux 9.1?

I have an old HP Pavilion dv5000 with Windows XP Media Center ed, with an 80Gb Hard Drive. I would like to install kUbuntu on it. My questions:
-How much room would the Linux partition require, considering that I might add a few additional programs to standard kUbuntu?
-Does anyone know how kUbuntu handles the blue “fn” function keys from the Pavilion?
-Does S-Video out work properly with kUbuntu? I tried with the Live CD version and there was no way to put it to work.

Thanks all.

  1. hi, i understand that you are running windows successfully,if that is the case why bother with kubuntu. i check these forums everyday to help people with problems and you are running windows without problems, do you know how lucky you are?the question is –what does kubuntu do that windows cant do?by installing kubuntu you could be looking for problems, do you need problems?i have installed many types of linux and they are not all glitz and glamour, if your windows system is running smoothly be happy and enjoy it.
