Question #78747 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78747
Tom proposed the following answer: For a general case without knowing any details and assuming you are using server edition i would say that from a command line type in sudo parted help This should give you all the commands in parted and give a fair idea how to use it. To see all the partitions on the drive it's currently looking at type print but the chances are that you'll need to change drives to whichever one you want to install Ubuntu onto so try select /dev/sdc print Note that the up arrow on your keyboard can cycle back through your previous commands to save you re-typing anything much. Ok so create partitions like this (again this is assuming we are dealing with sdc but on your system it might be a different physical drive) also i'm assuming that the new drive doesn't have any data or anything that you want to save. If there is stuff there then don't do any of this ;) sdc1 5Gb Primary Partition with 'file-system' = linux-swap sdc2 10Gb Primary Partition, file-system = ext3 sdc3 15Gb Primary Partition, file-system = ext3 sdc4 The rest of the drive, Extended Partition, no filesystem . sdc5 To completely fill sdc4, Logical Partition, ext3 again quit Then start the installer and when you get to the partitioning section choose "Manual Partition" which is the 3rd choice and hardest to spot at the very bottom. It will rescan your drives again. Now edit sdc2 to set it's "Mount Point" to "/" and edit sdc3 to set it's "Mount Point" to "/home". The rest of the partitions don't need "Mount Points" although it might be helpful to try setting sdc5's "Mount Point" to "/home/username/Data" although i'm not sure it's wise to set sdc5 to anything at this point. Ok so that should install just fine. The grub should install and pick- up on the presence of RedHat and put that at the end of the boot-menu for you automatically :) Good luck and regards from Tom :) -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
