From Gnome/KDE comparison:



That option you can't find anywhere? Thats what 'screen edge' does.
What does screen edge mean as a setting? Thats that option you can't find anywhere.

Thanks. Good to know.

Hello, aysiu.

An older version of the tutorials used to list a guide to manually partitioning during the installation process. Is it still online somewhere? I found it really helpful.

Maybe one of these?

I think the installer menus look a little different now.

Hi,
After looking over this page:
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome , I was wondering if you might have a simpler GUI method of doing this with a clean install. For a lot of new people, they don't have enough data to need to try to save it.
I have thought of doing one myself, but you seem to have quite a talent at building these how-to's.
Just a thought! I know I muddled my way through it in an ugly manner a few years ago...

kthx!

That sounds like a good idea. I'll put it on my to-do list with low priority.

Hi. When I first installed Ubuntu I did a dual boot. I was following a tutorial on line and had printed it out and went step by step to set up the dual boot with XP. I installed the Hardy 8.04. There wasn't anything mentioned about a /home in any of the tutorials shown. I had done it by the first step where you use the slider and measure how much you want to give both. When the next LTS comes out I'm planning on going full Ubuntu since I don't even go to the XP side of the house. So, I would be one of those who would greatly appreciate a step by step in installing a "Fresh/Clean" install and adding a /home at that time. I've read your tutorial that you have now and since I'm new at this am afraid that I would probably mess something up by creating one now. I know that it probably would be helpful from what everyone says to have a /home, but would need to do it when the next LTS comes out. I'm looking forward for your new tutorial. I always enjoy reading your comments. I learn a lot from them. As I said, I never seen anything anywhere talking about creating a /home in the tutorials I was reading and watching the videos before creating the dual boot. A question that remains in my mind is will we really need a /home to have a "Fresh/Clean" install when I tell it to completely install over everything. Please advise as to that.
Thank you very much.
Tom

All right. It's done:

And it's also linked-to off the main installation tutorial.

Hey, on this page, linked to from the main sidebar:
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kdegnome

...at the very bottom, you can find a link to this page:
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/gnome

which is about installing GNOME on top of KDE. It's extremely out of date. Perhaps the link to it should be removed?

Thanks again for the great guides, I'm following one right now as it happens

Actually, it's completely up-to-date in terms of instructions. You install the ubuntu-desktop metapackage, log out, select the Gnome session, and log back in.

It's the screenshots that are out-of-date. I'll put that on my to-do list.
