Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Noob Here

Yes, interesting you should say that...  I just booted from USB stick, then  
found sda1 and made sure it was unmounted.  Then I opened up Gparted and  
deleted sda1.  Now, Gparted says the entire drive is unallocated.  I even  
tried to boot from the drive to be certain this was done... It's done.  The  
machine would not boot from the drive.  Nothing on it to boot from.  But,  
now, here's where it gets really interesting... I rebooted Quirky from USB  
stick and looked at the partitions on the desktop again, and there all three,  
sda1, sda5, and sda2 are sitting, respectively, just like before.  Then I  
opened Gparted again and it says the entire disk is unallocated still.

Groovy.  I will try to install something else on the drive now and see if it  
does away with those partitions...
