I would very much like to setup Ubuntu to try on my machine, but I don't totally want to ditch Suse just yet either (and I need my Windows partition as well for school programs like SPSS). I'm not even sure what my current partitions look like because I don't know how to check. Is there a command to use to list the partition information? The commands fdisk and cfdisk aren't available. I know this is probably a big project, but... help?

Terrific! I didn't realize that you had to be logged in as superuser. Thanks for the tip. Here's the info: Code: Disk /dev/sda: 100.0 GB, 100030242816 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12161 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 1685 13534731 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 1686 12161 84148470 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 1686 7055 43134493+ 7 HPFS/NTFS

Nevermind! I went ahead and just installed ubuntu over my previous Suse installation. Now I have the exact setup I wanted in the first place! [*] NTFS Support [*] Windows XP running via QEMU [*] Easy Updates [*] Multimedia buttons work [*] Beryl + XGL Working Awesome Ubuntu is awesome... really. I'm wondering how Edgy will be when that's released stable. |
