Actually my $0.02 for what it is worth: I format my disk sda1 (whatever) 20G sda2 20G sda3 swap sda4 home Then you can build the play system / upgrade etc on the other 1 or 2 partition without touching your main system, and :-) all the titbits you forgot are still there on the original root disk. I installed karmic desktop, made it do as-I-wanted.Any crap about save resources, server type system is just that. AKA swap! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall Installing on top of an already running desktop system Easy and quick James ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
