New question #78407 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78407
Hi Guys,
I have partitioned 80gig hard drive into 45.9gig(ext) and called it /dev/sda1
and 22.9gig(ext) called it /dev/sda5, and the rest of space as swap area.
The first partition(45.9gig) was meant for Linux to run on and the other for
future installation Windows XP. But it seems that things have been swapped
around, the system looks like is running on the 22.9gig.
When I install other softwares and store data, they all get stored on this
22.9gig partition. And I would like things to be the other way around because I
am running out of space.
When I go to System>Administration>System Monitor>File Systems, this is what
appears:
===================================================
Device Directory Type Total Free
Available Used
===================================================
/dev/sda5 / ext 22.9GiB 6.3GiB
5.1GiB 16.6Gib 76%
/dev/sda1 /boot ext 45.9GiB 45.7GiB 43.3GiB
205.5MiB 0%
/boot seems to be empty, when navigate to this directory, i find other system
files (e.g. abi-2.6.28-11-generic.txt,etc).
Can I store my data in this directory?
How can make sure that future software installations use this directory?
Please help.
