so, i need 3 new partition?

1) /root for 10gb.

2) swap for 256mb (my ram is 2gb) *does it mean bigger swap, faster speed?

3) home partition.

right?

oh ya, i need 1 more time clarification, linux can read my media files stored on ntfs hdd with correct plugin rights?

i just installed linux on my other hdd and i have problems to connect to internet using huawei e220 usb hsdpa modem.. that's the only internet connection i have here... how to make it works? there's no driver for linux provided inside the modem..

thanks!

but, i have problem login to linux... after install, i managed to boot linux for once. then after that, there's black screen appeared after linux is loading.



how to get rid of this and go to login page as usual?

after do some googling, i found out 1 user managed to solve this by editing the menu.lst. below is his quote. can someone tell me how to get it done?

"I figured this out. You have to change menu.lst and replace "root=dev/sdax" with the UUID of the partition that Linux is installed on."

guys, i have messed up my hdd mountpoint.. how to revert to normal?

i assigned wrong mount point for my mp3 hdd(other hdd) to a partition... now i cant mount/unmount it..

not during installation... i've mounted the hdd inside linux. then i changed the mount point from /media/disk to /media/newname. it works fine. but after i unmount and remount back, the error appeared. already tried reboot linux and its still same...

yeah, done that... i edited the mount point at fstab to previous working mount point but still cant... my last resort, reinstall ubuntu... installed ubuntu twice for today...



btw, my friend had a laptop but the laptop can't boot ubuntu livecd. stucked at the menu after choosing "try ubuntu without installing". why?
