Hi, I've thought about moving to jaunty for a while now but I have a laptop (dell xps1530) dual booting vista and ubuntu 8.04 at the moment and am wondering what to do when I install.
I'll back up what I need on USB and will be doing a fresh install, so do I need to bother about partitioning at all i.e. will I just install into the same partition?


Sorry for posting stupid questions, I can't believe how easy ubuntu is now.
I just formatted the existing 8.04 ext3 partition and replaced with 9.04

My wireless card works flawlessly too now, I'd stopped using 8.04 on the laptop as often because of the hassles with the wireless driver

Thanks, but format what though? and I thought the installer asks where to install ubuntu?
