    Couple questions for some pros!!

    alright guys i have tried to use the search and have found nothing. Please someone help me.

    i will start with the senario I have a pc with a dualboot setup vista/ubuntu 8.10. I have the HDD split up into 3 parts vista(ntfs)/linux(ext3)/50gb partition to transfer stuff betweeen(fat32).

    now for the questions.

    1) is there anyway that i can move the default location of where the linux desktop is saved to the 50gb partition so that i can also change the vista desktop to the same location.

    2) same thing with firefox and thunderbird

    Ok, so, to your problem. What do you mean by saving the linux desktop? Are you reinstalling and need to choose where to install to? Also, as to having a shared partition for the 2 operating systems, NTFS support in Ubuntu is nearly flawless, so you might want to consider deleting your shared partition and simply using your vista partition as your storage place.

    Ok, I think you will have to do it separately for each program. For firefox, just open the options box, then under the downloads section you can choose where files are saved too.
