Re: Manual Partitioning

 

LOL PHIL! Yes, i run ubuntu on a 5 gb disk.. you can do it, but man, it's almost impossible to do full upgrades. You have to install some packages, then apt-get clean, install again :-p

Hi,

time to 'fess up :) When dividing 100 GB by 10 to get 10GB partition for testing on... Don't divide the 10GB / partition by 10! Running with / of 3GB and /home with ~ 6.75 GB works fine.

        Hi folks,

        I no longer see issues when manually partitioning a disk
        (Albeit a virtual disk), but attempting to install the latest
        lubuntu build [1] gives an error when attempting to install
        the software (core goes in fine). To check I was not going
        completely daft & check my iso was not corrupt, I then carried
        out a guided-full disk install & it went well. I've tried with
        both KVM and VBox with the same fail and success. Can someone
        please check on an actual partition (my test area is one big
        Virtual Disk). I'll refresh my other iso's and attempt with
        different flavours, but this is at install part which all
        flavours share so I do expect similar behaviour although I'd
        be happy to hear if other flavours install okay.

        My manual slicing was
        256 Mb - swap
        1 GB - / (ext4 - boot flag turned on)
        ~ 8.75 GB - /home (ext4 - no boot flag) [ what was left out of
        the 10GB area after /swap and /]

        Regards,

        Phill.
