Re: [Bug 176343] Re: Switching From Windows guide needs to explain the guided partitioning option rather than manual partitioning
it is a need for clearer english and straight to the point. The current directions are confusing to new users. EG - to share this drive with an existing OS, and split into 2, use this option to use an existing unused drive partition, use this option Etc. But NO, no-one has done it yet, and I have since loaded on 7.10 UBUNTU by deleting the other partitions with ACRONIS Rescue Disk.It is much simpler to use, and the options of ACRONIS are not onboard UBUNTU OS setup discs. 2gt0tgBOBK From: thecliff thecliffgard...@gmail.com To: rkoom...@yahoo.com Sent: Sat, 13 February, 2010 8:10:41 AM Subject: [Bug 176343] Re: Switching From Windows guide needs to explain the guided partitioning option rather than manual partitioning Is anyone currently working on this or has it been resolved? -- Switching From Windows guide needs to explain the guided partitioning option rather than manual partitioning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176343 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Switching From Windows guide needs to explain the guided partitioning option rather than manual partitioning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176343 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@willySadran: This bug specifically addresses documentation regarding partitioning for a dual boot system. There are other options for running other OS's along with Ubuntu including using VirtualBox.

When installing Ubuntu 9.10, do not choose automatic, as it gives only a few megs of space for the OPSYS. Choose instead the MANUAL op, as it allows you to choose the size of the space for UBUNTU opsys. I now have to find a partitioner / resizer so I can fix the small space UBUNTU gave itself, causing the UPDATER to say it hasn't enough space left on it's partition! -- Switching From Windows guide needs to explain the guided partitioning option rather than manual partitioning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176343 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
