Trying Ubuntu

[Preacher]

Well i'll get it down somehow , today ill create the partition on the phone with my cousin since i have no clue what i'm doing and install it.

Hey calc , since my cousin is a ******* im going to follow your guide. But I noticed you didn't create a swap partition...

Swap isn't 100% needed, 2gb at most.

Alright , got it Live from the CD. GParted looks like this :



Will that make my Games partition 29GB , and space for Ubuntu = 25GB ?

Wanted to clarify , tomorrow ill keep going. Thanks for the help

I don't make ANY partition...when you tell it to use largest free space, the installer will automatically format a swap AND ext3 partition. I like to let it choose the best size for things.

But that option does resize my "Games" partition , and I click Apply. Then I run the set=up like your guide. ? Am I right don't want to screw up that Partition...

 

[CalcProgrammer1]

You have plenty of space already unallocated, just run installer and let it use largest free space.

If you use Wubi its much easier to install.

You can install an ubuntu dual boot scenario all inside of windows.

And if you ever want to remove ubuntu, you just do so from the add/remove programs in windows.

Alright, Ubuntu up and running in dual-boot, thanks calc for the guide.
