You're welcome. I hope it worked for you.

Since installing 12.04 I find my system very slow switching between users. This was not...

The following worked for me:


mkdir 2-june-2012:22:15:45

I am not sure what "LUKS pre-boot encryption" means. With the exception of my boot partition I have luks encrypted my hard disc . Booting from a systemrescuecd I can mount any of my encrypted...

The simple answer is yes, you can install Ubuntu to the ext3 partitions. You just need to decide how you want to allocate your partitions - just do a search on Ubuntu partitioning. This is no right...
