How would I set up the Yamaha XG sound card to work in linux (after shrinking Windows with Partition Resizer or Partition Manager)? If it needs ALSA sound, would it be simpler to install SW10.2 (and will it fit into 500MB without source code or compiler?)

The DB50XG is a pure GMIDI/XGMIDI-Board. No special drivers needed, just the plain and stupid "Port 330" UART-driver. Actually there is a difference between DB50XG and normal General Midi Board: The DB50XG can interpret the socalled XG extension. But it is still normal Midi besides that, no direct programming of the chipset.

The SW50XG software synthesizer is a windows-driver playing through normal wave-output. So no chance at all for Linux-Support.

XG is a rather wide used extension of MIDI and a really powerfull one.
