http://crunchbanglinux.org – I've been using Linux for a couple of years now, and I have installed numerous OS's in virtualbox, but I have now set aside a partition for installing new OS's for testing.  My main system is the former #! xfce.  However, I want to play with the new #! iso alongside of my xfce install.  I know that this sounds like an elementary question, but I don't wanna screw anything up.  I am installing to /dev/sda8 so obviously I need to format that and give it a mount point of /.  My question is whether or not I need to identify the swap space that currently (HowTos)

Extremely slow machine 3 years 16 weeks ago

my hardisk is partitioned so:

Code: # fdisk -l

Disco /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 byte

255 testine, 63 settori/tracce, 60801 cilindri Unità = cilindri di 16065 * 512 = 8225280 byte Identificativo disco: 0x46889d6b

I'm preparing to install Precise on a machine currently running 9.10 in a dual boot setup. /dev/sda1 has the Windoze install, and there are 4 logical partitions in the extended linux partition. I have swap, /home, /usr, and root, which has over 5GB of available space.

XFCE and new BPO ISO 1 year 13 weeks ago

Please forgive me if this question has already been asked.  I've just installed the newest BPO image on a fresh partition and have installed XFCE in place of Openbox (nothing personal - I just prefer it).  Now I'm trying to customize it (i.e. make it look like #!
