Time to go and sleep. Installing everything from Apache to xracer is postponed until next week...

Feisty Fawn Humour!

I installed Feisty Fawn. I got this message during the first boot up: " / has gone 49710 days without being checked, check forced". After checking, grub started again, but this time, it booted ok.

Installing Ubuntu 7.04, Feisty Fawn!

Ubuntu CDs came thursday. I made a decision to sacrifice my ubuntu 6.06 Long Term Support version for the new features in Feisty. I am going to make a clean install instead of upgrading.

First, I made a note of installed applications and the tweaks I made, then backed up important files to a FAT partition, put the CD into drive and rebooted.

It did boot up faster than the previous versions, but that's probably because I added more RAM two months ago. First thing I checked was firefox. It is the newest version (2.0.0.3). I clicked the install icon in the desktop and started the install process. When the partitioning part came, I selected manual partitioning and checked the partition where current ubuntu version is installed. Then I resized the partition to make more swap space. My partitions were like this:

• hda1 fat32 104878 MB
• hda5 ntfs 104878 MB (windows xp)
• hda6 ext3 18885 MB (current ubuntu installation)
• hda 7 swap 197 MB

I resized partition and made a 1GB swap space, then selected ext3 partition as /. Now installation is going on.
