Yes its alright. Now take down the names of the partitions like sdax with their sizes so that you wont get confused when installing Ubuntu and choose Manual when asked about Partitioning while installing.

When in Partitioing :Just cheak their sizes.
1: Choose sda5 and mount point to "/"
2: Choose sda6 and mount point to linux-swap.

Here is a very Good Tutorial Dual Boot Vista & Ubuntu

ok ... will start installation now..

it moved to next step... i had to change sda5 to "/" ... to continue to next step.. otherwise it said no drive specified.. something that sort...

 

[praka123]

@nevin:everything is perfectly fine.
just notice these things:
/dev/sda5 = / (ext3)
/dev/sda6 = swap (swap)

wht should i do... all my pictures movies songs are there only

 

[Rahim]

Congrats naveen
Now to access ntfs drives open NTFS Configuration Tool from Application>Systems Tools , it will ask for root password, just enter your password and it will mount all your ntfs drives as Gutsy has native support for read/write of ntfs partitions.

Use Synaptic Manager to install softwares and make sure you have enabled Universe, Multiverse reposotories(System>Administration>Software Sources)
.

 

[praka123]

there is NO need to search internet for softwares like u does in window$ in Ubuntu.
Ubuntu already contains (apt and synapic(in menu System >admin>Synaptic)package manager which will download and install compiz or almost all packages for u.
dont even bother to search google for Linux softwares.I know,it is irresistable as ur used to window$ where u go and search cnet,softpedia for softwares .
absolutely NOT needed in Linux esp Ubuntu/Debian
but if u got time read this :
*linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm
and for Ubuntu
*ubuntuguide.org

^Compiz comes default with Ubuntu 7.10
Follow this guide here.

[Rahim]

^Appreciated.
One more point since you are new to Linux use Add/Remove to read about the softwares before installing.(Much informed than Synaptic for a newbie imo).

 

[Faun]

And get the latest version of exaile from the developer website, repos still contains the older version

*www.exaile.org/downloads

Download the 0.2.11 Ubuntu 7.10 package

You can theme this version only
Dexaile Theme

 

[Rahim]

or use www.getdeb.net for latest softwares.
BTW T159 is that the only theme for Exaile? Its quite plain and just rearranges the buttons.
