hi listers.
I have made some progress today, finally I
downloaded the daily build of feisty ubuntu, and successfully matched the
checksom value. I also was able to burn the image to a normal cd since the
ubuntu people have fixed the size of the image so that it can now fit on a
cd.
I booted to the ubuntu system ok and have played
with orca fine too. I started the installation and when I reached the step where
I have to select partition I elected edit the partitions since none of the other
2 options would do what I want them to do. I already prepared a linux partition
and a swap partition and I wanted to use them. indeed, when I elected the manual
way I could select my x3 partition, once checked a window that has more options
to configure comes up. that window has combo boxes, and I found it extremely
difficult to deal with those combo boxes. it doesn't seem to be the normal way
of errow keys. I got stuck. anybody can offer help about this?
thanks alot.
