<br>I installed Ubuntu, dual-boot with The Filth (sorry for forgetting the<br><irony> flag on my earlier pro-Windows post) on a ThinkPad of some<br>description between Christmas and NY. IBM like Linux. They got on very
<br>well with each other and Ubuntu did the resizing of the existing<br>partition for me after asking a few questions. I made some notes but<br>they are at work. That reminds me: I must learn more about logical<br>volumes. I said I did want them this time but then didn't do anything
<br>with them. It would have been a good idea to do this before the<br>installation.<br><br>Woo.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Wolves LUG mailing list<br>Homepage: <a href="http://www.wolveslug.org.uk/">
