Hi Liam, ok it was just that i was thinking when i did it that i had to type the size of hard drive space i needed for Ubuntu. From memory there was a default setting it offered and then you could then change it to whatever you wanted.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Router reccomendations
I'm assuming you are talking about a home DSL router? I always recommend Netgear DG834G http://www.netgear.co.uk/wireless_adslrouter_dg834g.php The wireless is 54Mbs, (they do have a 108mbs model too) and its ADSL (not cable). If that's what you are looking for, then 40 quid or so will buy you a solid reliable piece of hardware. I use Netgear hardware at home and in the office, and have never had a problem...

Re: [ubuntu-uk] process control charts! Chart software
I don't know of one particularly, but I did some training in business analysis at work recently and the tutor pointed out a couple of Open Source tools he used. If you're doing stuff around that kinda field you might find some of the following interesting too... Requirements management tool to help organise system requirements when planning.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] HELP: How to install the Ubuntu in one of the existing partition in a hard disk?
2009/2/27 Liam Proven lpro...@gmail.com: 2009/2/26 Joseph Walton-Rivers webpig...@googlemail.com: if you install gparted, you will be able to see where each partition is, and you'll be able to remove any partition you wish, it will appear under system-administration-Partition editor He wants to install Ubuntu. To do this, he wants to get rid of his D: partition. Until he does that, he can't install Parted, so that suggestion is really not much help, is it? Steady on there Liam. Keep off the grumpy pills. It's a valid suggestion. Gparted can be installed onto a running live cd (as can any other app if you have enough ram to hold it) and then the disk can be partitioned at will. This is assuming it's not already installed on the Live CD. You did not suggest that he boot the LiveCD and run Parted from there, which would have been rather more use. However, in Linux, it can be rather hard to tell which drive is C: and which is D:. That is why I suggested using Windows to remove the partition. It's not hard at all. You click each drive in turn and the one with the partition type NTFS is likely to be the one. In addition he has (as I understand) a C: with Windows installed and an empty (formatted NTFS) D:. In gparted the C: drive will show up as being partially full up whereas the D: will be empty.

Cheers, Michael I'd second that, I have a DG834G and it works great. They also support ADSL2+ so even if your current ISP doesn't support up to 24 meg you're at least future proofed for it. Not sure if they're very well supported by OpenWRT but if you just want a basic router that has wireless you can't go wrong with this one.

If you didn't know how to use a GUI application you would have to spend some time learning, the only difference being with a GUI you can guess which buttons to press. So to get you started: To start gnuplot, just type gnuplot at a terminal, then you'll get a prompt looking something like this: G N U P L O T Version 4.2 patchlevel 3 last modified Mar 2008 System: Linux 2.6.27-11-generic Copyright (C) 1986 - 1993, 1998, 2004, 2007, 2008 Thomas Williams, Colin Kelley and many others Type `help` to access the on-line reference manual. The gnuplot FAQ is available from http://www.gnuplot.info/faq/ Send bug reports and suggestions to http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot Terminal type set to 'wxt' gnuplot To plot a graph of sin(x) here's what you'd type: gnuplot plot sin(x) and a graph of sin(x) should pop up in a window. If you have a file with data in it, as long as they are in columns gnuplot can plot them easily for you: gnuplotplot data.txt where data.txt looks something like: 1 1 2 4 3 9 4 16 5 25 If you have more than one column, you use the using modifier i.e. gnuplot plot data.txt using 1:3 which tells gnuplot to plot columns 1 and 3 from the data.txt file. The other important thing to know is how to write something to a file. First you need to decide what type of file you would like to output, such as png or postscript. So here are the commands you would type: gnuplot set terminal png [This sets the file to be of type png] gnuplot set output mygraph.png [This opens the file for writing to it] gnuplot plot data.txt [This plots the graph and puts the output into the file] gnuplot unset output [This closes the file] This is all just straight off the top of my head, so it's really not hard to use once you've played with it a bit. There's plenty of good information on the web for using gnuplot, but if you find yourself stuck, don't hesitate to ask. As you might have noticed I quite like gnuplot and would be willing to help... Of course you can always type help at the gnuplot command line for some interactive help. gnuplot help Tom -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmoS5QACgkQFRlp6kAWdpuABACfZQelt5dylDP/VXY7+8lr8f7x D0oAmwYFSjvmU6gPlrfYSMZmQH9psgGP =C3Ke -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
