I have used Suse Linux 9.3 for sometime & I want to try Ubuntu Linux now. My experience with Suse is not gr8. So on several recommendations, I want to install Ubuntu Linux 5.10. I have tried the Ubuntu Live CD and it detected all drivers for all my hardware (suse didnt)
System Specifications:
Compaq Presario Laptop: Intel Centrino, 768 MB Ram, 40 GB HDD (Total 4 Partitions: c:\ XP Pro with SP2, f:\ Suse Linux 9.3). File System: Fat32
I wish to install ubuntu on f: where right now suse is installed. My queries are:
1. How should I uninstall suse and install ubuntu?
Please explain this procedure in detail (like file system, swap option,
partition, etc.)
2. How should the formating for f: be done (whether necessary)?
3. I do not want to harm Win XP installation in any way.
4. I want XP to decide boot options and not Grub or let Grub set XP as default boot option.
5. Ubuntu should auto mount other drives
6. Ubuntu should boot by default with a GUI (KDE or something like that) giving me root/admin level access
Kindly help...
