Hello Everyone,

I'll start this with I think I've messed up):P, but I don't want to give up on Linux. I know it will continue to take time to learn, but right now I'm willing to try...

I currently have kubuntu 8.10 installed on my machine & I'm just in the learn phase if you will. I would like to start over and only use ubuntu for now. I use a dual boot machine with Vista, but I don't want to mess up the Vista boot up. Currently I use the kubuntu boot manager so I easily get to choose which OS to boot up.

Simply said, I would like to start all over fresh with ubuntu, removing all that I have installed on that OS. How do I go about this? Is it as simple as stuffing the disk in the drive & telling it to install to the partition that currently kubuntu is on? Could it be that simple? Remember I'm trying to not mess up my Windows install.

Thanks!

Well, yeah, it really is pretty much "just that simple"... IF you know what you're doing regarding partitioning during an install.

DO you know what you're doing when partitioning during an install?

Well I did partition it to originally install kubuntu
