Question #61187 on Easy Peasy changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+question/61187
Description changed to: Same as #57483, except a 2Gig Surf. But I have installed an 8G memory card, and hoped that would help. I have no clue about partitioning, have never used Ubuntu or Linux before. The many things I have tried have not worked. When I got the thing it had Windows xp installed which did not allow enough space for the install of OpenOffice which I need so I can use the tool for my work. I downloaded the torrent image to my desktop computer, and after much trial and error, over a couple of weeks, I finally managed to make a USB drive that does boot the EeePC and Ubuntu does work that way - slowly. The 2G drive seemed not big enough for the install and trying to install on the HP 8G card hasn't worked. Trying to set up a swap using a partition on the card doesn't either. Hence the start of this cry for help. When I started into Launchpad, I then was directed to Question #44490 which had a similar problem. I tried the suggested solution: install - with no localisation, manual partition, no swap and all that - got a message that the partition at 1850 was too small (but just by a few bytes), went back and upped the size to 1900. Then was told there was no root, not sure what to do there but tried using / which seemed to work. When this took me through to the next step again, it told me I needed 2500 mb in the partition (which is of course more than is possible there) and I don't understand why upping the size of the partion beyond what was first asked for has now led back to square one. I am stumped as to what to do and am running out of free time to keep trying. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Eee Coders, which is an answer contact for Easy Peasy. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eee-coders Post to : ubuntu-eee-coders@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eee-coders More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
