Linux change distro

Post by mfrna »

Hi folks

I'd like to change the linux distribution that is installed on my pc

how should I do that?

I'm using the windows nt loader so I don't want to change it

I'm using fedora core 5 and want to install ubuntu instead

Boot from ubuntu livecd, use gparted which is included on the livecd, format the ext3 partition of fedora and after that start the ubuntu installation.
That is pretty straight forward I guess, and about the loader you have an option near the end to install grub or not, you can do whatever you choose there, personally I like grub.

I wouldn't use LINUX because It doesn't support windows crap like .exe stuff :(
