Hi In desperation to access the internet via my BSNL / CDMA WLL phone i reinstalled Ubuntu 7.10. I have left space for another Linux OS (probably Kubuntu 8.10 - since i have that CD)
The following is my HD partitioning /dev/sda8 6.5G 2.0G 4.2G 33% / (ubuntu 7.10 root and home /dev/sda6 92M 23M 64M 27% /boot /dev/sda1 13G 12G 844M 94% /media/sda1 (Wince XP) /dev/sda2 2.8G 759M 2.1G 27% /media/sda2 (VFAT Shared drive) /dev/sda7 43G 30G 12G 73% /media/sda7 (/Home from my previous install which i want to keep as my default home) /dev/sda9 6.7G 2.2G 4.2G 35% /media/sda9 (space for new Linux OS) Ok the main question is i tried to install a second Ubuntu with sda9 as /root and sda7 as /home and the sda6 was the /boot however Ubuntu 8.10 did not pick up the previously installed version of 7.10 and i was left without my 7.10. When the option came to partition i selected manual and did not select the option for the 8.10 installtion to format the /boot (which i assume needs to be the same as my older boot partition) So what could be going wrong. regards ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
