| 809986 | 2009-09-15 02:02:00 | It must be contagious - I've just installed PCOS WS 64 bit, which seems to be riddled with Ubuntu-ness, but is using XFCE as a desktop, and comes with all the usually omitted codecs. A lack of brown-orange, and the no-show of Gnome are a big plus for me. (Bargnomes excepted, of course). The local repositories seem good, so maybe this will be the first Ubuntu version to see more than one sunrise here. :thumbs: |

| 809987 | 2009-09-15 02:55:00 | I decided to wipe the whole hdd and start a fresh XP-P install and then gonna install Ubuntu 9 . 06 . One thing that bothers me is that after I got it all up and running, it had all these updates and security add-ons to get and when I told it to get them it said it didn't have enough room to install them . Go figger! How am I supposed to over-ride the installation and the size of the swapfile area in anticipation of needing more room . Seems it isn't well thought-out for eventualities . But I will persevere . Bulletin: Patrick Swayze just died . |

| 809988 | 2009-09-15 03:24:00 | If you have a spare HDD, install to that cleanly without any MS. Throw in a live disk, select install, tell it where you live and what sort of keyboard, and it should be a piece of cake, using auto-partition. If you want to be fancy about it, make one partition for /boot only needs to be a few MB, 20GB for /, then put another 30 GB for /home, a GB or two for /swap and let 'er rip. All of 'em except swap can be fs3 for simplicity. A very light smear of Vegemite on finely toasted bread applied to the operator's interior will assist the entire process. |
