Hello,
I've been using the 7.10 and now the 8.04 Live CD for quite some time, but always afraid to install it. Ive attempted it before, but I got as far as the partioning. I have a Dell XPS M140 (Laptop) with Windows XP Media Edition preinstalled on it. It has a 90 GB HDD. Ive already partioned it, 70.6 GB for Windows and a 22.9GB (Yes, I set it to ext3 filesystem) partion for Ubuntu. But I cannot add a swap partion (I need this right?) because I already have 4 Primary partions :S. And Im afraid to make the 22.9 partion an Extended partion for some reason. So these are my questions, what partions do i need (for a laptop)? What do I make these partions (Extended Partion, Primary Partion, etc...) ? Please, Help me ive been trying for weeks (literally). Thank You!
