New here and writing quick as I am at work...:-( I have an 80gb hard drive pc and I want it to dual boot between Ubuntu and PCBSD. Its a long time since I have done this but I am at lost to why I can't get to the 2 to work. I may overlooked something obvious Its not often I do partition a hard drive as my other pc is xp and Debian which is working to my satisfaction and the spare pc will be ubuntu and PCBSD. You may wonder why ubuntu as my family now uses ubuntu and somtimes when they ask question over the phone I can see what they are talking about or if they are having problems I can recreate it on my pc. and now to the bit why PCBSD... I am impressed! been a DestopBSD for a while and now installed PCBSD and packages are more upto date than Linux. yes I can configure make and install .. but do I want to be doing this all the time when you have the excelant upto date PCBSD :-) I must admit when it comes to partition hard drive I have done it prevously but still don't get it right (but then again its not everyday I do this) first of all I split the partition using GPARTED and did a swap partition for linux I first installed PCBSD and then Ubuntu. For some reason Ubunto only boot up so that suggest to me it over wrote PCBSD boot manager... then I installed GAG, THE Graphical Boot Manager that abled me to boot into PCBSD but not UBUNTU it cant cant the boot partition. I did all the above in reverse order installed ubuntu and then PCBSD and only can boot into PCBSD.. Should I be posting in UBUNTU forum or am I better off posting in here, hope someone post a step by step or a link for further reading. Regards, Fintan --
