Hey guys!
Have a question. May seem a bit elemental but I've never done it before so I want to make sure I get it right.
On my laptop I currently have Ubuntu 11.04 installed. Its partitioned as follows.
1. /boot 500mb primary
2. swap 3gb primary
3. / 70gb primary
4. /home a lot logical
5. The rest is unformatted free space.
Boot loader is installed in the default location
Now I want to install a different distro, namely backtrack 5. How do I make sure my Ubuntu install isn't fubard? I want to use the same swap space but thats it, the rest is to go on the unformatted partition. Any tips for making sure I don't screw up my install?
Thanks guys!
