Thread: new to this, trying all day, please help!


ive been trying day install kubuntu says have 255mb (which dont, have 256mb) , want it, tried usb, said there no configuration file found, want replace windows xp, please help :/

replacing xp priority. should create swap partition on disk, add 256 mb of ram , installer.

data. these changes non-destructive, can screw , destroy data on disk.

boot livecd, open terminal:

sudo gparted

use partition manager shrink existing partition 1 gb.

take free space , create new swap partition /swap mount point. write changes disk. reboot livecd swap disk partition gets discovered. open terminal , run:

free

should like:

tgalati4@tpad-gloria7 ~ $ free
total used free shared buffers cached
mem: 1867260 1124452 742808 0 65016 489848
-/+ buffers/cache: 569588 1297672
swap: 2562356 0 2562356

if have swap can proceed installation.

when partitioner, use manual or advanced method , make smart decisions on how want set partition. if want wipe out xp entirely, can choose use entire disk , not disturb swap partition because in use.

luck.
