I'm poised to reinstall Ubuntu 9.10 over a failed but semi functional upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04.
Normal upgrades are inhibited by the trashed version of 9.04.
I'm assuming it is advisable to format the offending partition, or disk in this case, before installation, or can I just install over 9.04?
Do I have to remove anything else from the system like the GRUB menu?
I believe the GRUB for 9.10 is a different version to 9.04.
Any advice or cavaets??
Would it be more adviseable to try and reinstall 9.04 from a CD first and then upgrade?
Look before you leap this time!
