install the apps you want to your existing ubuntu install using the provided install scripts, (see below) > I thought I could just boot up the DVD and choose the Install > option and pick my Ubuntu partition and install. that will wipe out + replace your ubuntu installation with xubuntu 11.04, not augment it. if your ubuntu boot is fresh out of the box, maybe it is no trouble to start again from scratch? > However, I'm not sure what to set in the Allocate drive space > window during the install.
