XP -Ubuntu 9 Nordic Version double boot
Thanks for all responses so far.
In the mean time I made some experiments using slow and aged PC:s in order to get a feeling for what might happen of (or when) I will install Ubuntu (or Debian or ...) on my 'production PC'.
Experiment 1
PC Bell 450/b1r, 1999, Pentium II, Ram 640
10 GB Drive was partitionated in a PC using the Win 2000 Disk Manager (Scaleo 400C, 2001, Ram 256 MB)
When the Drive was in condition 'partitionated' neither Debian 5 or Ubuntu 9 could be installed successfully.
When the Drive was in condition 'Partitionated and then Partition Deleted', Debian could be installed successfully (swedish keybooard ok). I noticed that the install program asked where to install grub. This is of interest for Experiment 2 (below)
Ubuntu 9.04 Nordic Version could not be installed sucessfully, black screen before user was asked where are you or where install ...
A sideeffect was that inititial test results demonstated yhe old truth that drive cable select settings mist be set with care..
Experiment 2
20 GB Drive. I installed XP on a first Partition (10 GB)- Free space 9 GB for intended installation of Uubuntu.
The free space waas obtained by using XP Manage Disk (Make partition, followed by delete partition)
Installation of Ubuntu 9.04 Nordic Version failed.
Another evening I will test Ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso
and perhaps Debian 5
