jribgluttony: ok02:00
gluttonycan you walk me through it so i dont make bad partition sizes?02:00
jribgluttony: sorry about that, I think it was just a typo, but I should have stressed that it was important to check any "sudo rm" commands02:01
jribsure, I think your setup was fine, just tell ubuntu you want it installed on hda3 and you want /home seperate on sda102:01
gluttonyi should have just copypasted it02:01
gluttonywell, what sizes to you suggest i give the parts?02:02
gluttonyso, /usr location, do i need to specify that?02:02
jribnah, I would just leave all of / including /usr together and seperate /home02:03
gluttonyi noticed in the install that there is no eastern standard time in the time settings02:04
jribhmm maybe new_york?02:05
gluttonyoh, and its not letting me select a mount point02:06
gluttonydo i just type it?02:07
jribI'm not sure02:08
jribgluttony: maybe someone in #ubuntu is more familiar with the installer02:08
gluttonykk02:08
