No, I’m not giving up on Ubuntu, but because of the constant updates, I’m running out of space, so I’ve been thinking of uninstalling Edgy Eft, and making a fresh install of the next update of Ubuntu, Feisty, in a few weeks time.
If you have a dual boot system, like I have (only because I haven’t got my scanner going under Ubuntu as yet), then it’s not a simple matter of deleting Ubuntu from its partition. For one thing, the GRUB menu, which gives you a choice of operating system when you boot, is deleted with Linux and you can’t boot XP (in my case).
So after searching on the forums for a while I found that
Herman has a tutorial about how to uninstall Ubuntu
For the record, I have a 60G Acer Aspire 1680 notebook, divided equally into two partitions. On the second there were some Acer files, presumably backups (sorry, I’m not tech enough to explain properly) and I installed Edgy Eft onto this. According to system monitor I’ve now used up 98% (of 13.8G). I wouldn’t mind but I haven’t yet transferred over all my files from XP… I still don’t really understand what all of these partitions mean, but if I was doing a fresh install, at least now I’d know where to look for explanations.
