Time to remove suse 11....but how?

[hullap]

please tell me where the file copy-file.sh is located, and show me your ls -a output

I don't know, I was following these instructions:

Boot your Ubuntu Linux.

Download GAG from here

*www.mediafire.com/?q1hhft5azyi

Right click on the file and select Extract here. Open a terminal and browse to the folder using the cd command. In that folder enter the linux folder using the cd command. If you are using KDE just go to the linux subfolder by single/double clicking on it and once your in it press the F4 key to open a terminal in the current folder location.

At prompt type

sudo ./copy-file.sh

and press ENTER

Then type

sudo ./gag-install /dev/sda

and press ENTER.

 

[hullap]

ok
so i assume that you downloaded the file on the desktop
do this now
open the terminal

cd Desktop/

unzip gag4_10.zip

cd gag4.10/linux/

sudo ./copy-file.sh

sudo ./gag-install /dev/sda

it should work now

That's the problem, I already mentioned that it is not working. I have unzipped in Documents and all the files and folders are there.

/Documents/gag4.10/linux$
sudo ./copy-file.sh

I keep getting the same error

sudo: ./copy-file.sh: command not found

Believe me, I have no idea what these commands are and what do they do. I am blindly following instructions given by Nucleuskore.
However, I just noticed that there is file name copy-files.sh in the linux folder. I will try typing this and get back.

Ok..this worked a bit. Here is the message:

mkdir: cannot create directory `/boot': File exists
GAG files copied to the hard disk. Now you can install it
using gag-install as root

OK..I typed this
sudo ./gag-install /dev/sda
and got this message

GAG installer, v4.9
Language: ENGLISH
Keyboard type: QWERTY
Will install GAG on device /dev/sda
GAG successfully installed in /dev/sda
Don't forget to install GRUB in the superblock of your root partition using
grub-install

So far so good... Now I inserted the Ubuntu installation CD and typed
sudo grub-install /dev/sda5
Here is the result,it appears all went well.

Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.
(hd0) /dev/sda

So far good. Now following instructions given at *thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96132#23...
Following all instructions faithfully...
added windows...
added linux....
saved to hard disk...
got a new boot menu with exactly same picture *img329.imageshack.us/my.php?image=xp63gf9.png
Booted in ubuntu and XP separately with no trace of Open suse 11..

Hoorah.... I did it! Task accomplished..
Thanks to NucleusKore and others who helped me out. By the what is the "boot from disk 1"? It is returning an invalid error?

But the job is not fully done yet. There is still 8 GB or so out there on the hard disk containing Suse. I must merge it with the partition containing Ubuntu, how do I go about doing that from here?
Nucleukore, are you listening?

 

[NucleusKore]

Back up your data in the Ubuntu partition.

Boot with a GParted live cd and do the following
1. Delete /dev/sda6
2. Resize/Move the end of /dev/sda5
3. Click Apply

 

[gary4gar]

Why not simple format the Suse partition using tools like Gparted?

 

[Sridhar_Rao]

Yes! Done
By the what is the "boot from disk 1"? Why is it returning an invalid error?
Thanks so much, this thread may now be closed.

 

[NucleusKore]

What boot from disk 1? The button with the floppy sign? That's to boot from a floppy disk.
