Hi guys.
I am attempting to install Ubuntu 9.04, I have 8.04 installed dual booted with XP on a nec laptop
My daft question of the day is. do I just select the /sda5 partition and leave Ubuntu to find later on the swap on /sda6
on step 4 I have right clicked and choosen to format the /sda5 partition as ext3 and mount point it /
do I select the swap on /sda6 and tell the system to format this as ext3
so the install can re-setup swap
OR will the installer see the swap and use it
I am taking screen shots as I go for as many of the 7 install steps that the system lets me, so I can draw back to them on future referance
okay make this two daft questions.
Does the grub Generally fix its self with the new install?
Many Thanks
