Re: partition for lubuntu from previous ubuntu

Hi Don

Since this is a Pi can you take the micro SD card and put it in a USB adapter and use another PC

booted up on Gparted and see the SD card partitions, if so then you can shrink the partition nearest the end

where the swap will show up and create your swap to the size you want or is recommended. Then save

the new partition table and continue.

I hope this explanation is clear, I really like Gparted and use it all the time.

Marty, thanks for the note.? I did get lubuntu installed and working.? I just had to find my boy bits to make new partitions over the old ones.? I didn't see any way to re-use the existing Ubuntu partitions.? So I just made new one near.

? In my haste, however, I failed to create a swap. Gurrr.? So there is a lot of help in the web 'boit how to create a Swap at run time.? But they are all so complicated for a newbee, that I've just operated without one. Lubuntu is very efficient. So good so far!!

Thanks much!!!
