For some reason the usual page that shows what's already there and offers to let me keep part of it for a dual boot, or just replace the whole thing doesn't show up. Instead it moves to the Something else page. It's not critical for me that I have the 160 GB drive, so I swapped it out for an 80 GB drive I have and ran the install on it. That went as expected, and I'm doing the usual stuff I do after installing an Ubuntu OS, things like gnome-session-fallback, moving the window control buttons back over to the right corner where they belong, you know, stuff like that. Thanks for the ideas. Maybe some day I'll need that drive and I'll dig around some more. I'll probably put it in another machine and repartition it there to get rid of Vista. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
