I may be missing a simple, key piece of info on the
installation. Probably making this harder than it needs
to be.
How do I force the ubuntu installation to a certain partition?
Have
120GB HD
8GB FAT32 recovery
112GB NTFS XP boot
Used LiveCD and gparted to resize and create:
8GB FAT32 recovery
80GB NTFS XP boot
13GB Primary ext3, label /
Extended 19GB
15GB ext3 label /home
4GB swap
When I do the install, guided partition option still wants to
break up my NTFS for the ubuntu.
If I choose manual option, I'm confused on where the install
is going. None of the guides I've seen go into this manual
option. Is the / label enough to force the install there?
I don't want ubuntu messing with my XP NTFS partition.
Thanks for any help.
