You must have missed the bit where the guy says he is using a WUBI install of Ubuntu inside the Windows C:\ Drive.
Your instructions probably will not work for a WUBI install, as it uses a Virtual Hard Drive Images like a Virtual Machine. Even if they did work, it is known that a WUBI install is slower than a real install, so my point to the user who asked the question was that since your running a WUBI install you should do a clean install. Funny how you ignored that bit and took the rest completely out of context. 2009/10/19 Dave Hall <[email protected]> > On Sun, 2009-10-18 at 03:18 -0700, Timmy wrote: > > You would be better off doing a clean-install of Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic > > Koala because you need to do a clean install to get the better > > performance from the enw file system it uses as default. > > You can upgrade to ext4 in place.
