hi all, got quite a big job to do and not sure how to go about it. At the moment I have Ubuntu 7.04 installed dual boot with windows vista. All parts of ubuntu are on one partition. I've read in the forum its always best to seperate them. I also want to upgrade to either 7.10 or 8.04 and remove vista completely. I have a couple of questions about doing this.
1) whats the best way of going about making this many changes? The first time I installed I used a guided install so an explanation of partition formats and sizes would work wonders.
2) My WLan card is running from ndiswrapper and my sound card I had to edit the driver file myself. Will these work better in newer versions?
audio card is: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
WLan card is:Atheros AR5007EG
3) I've spent a bit of time downloading applications that I like. Is there a way to save a list of these that ubuntu can then use to reinstall. I would also quite like to preserve my desktop and theme if this is possible
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
