Re: Best Way to Install Ubuntu 10.04?
I'd suggest using gparted to re-partition the hdd from the 10.04 live cd. (I'm pretty sure gparted is on there.) While you're at it, why not update to 10.10?
My Ratel (pre-installed w/ 10.10) was having some issues related to disk partitions until I dropped the extended and logical partition containing the swap space. Even booted from a live disk image, it wouldn't let me resize the primary (root) partition until I deleted the extended partition (which served no real purpose anyway). I ended up creating a smaller partition for the root file system, a separate partition for /home, and put swap in a primary partition instead of the logical one. Everything works great now.
