Thanks.

That kind of thing was normally done using "run levels", but Ubuntu doesn't use runlevels that way (redhat does, though).

Do you really want to not START the GUI, as opposed to not LOGIN-TO the GUI?
(Eg. hit CTRL-ALT-F2 after the GUI appears).



Hmm, not sure. Was trying to install nVidia drivers but the installer said it could not be run from within xwindows (although I have since found this site:http://albertomilone.com/latest_nvidia_udsf_edgy.html which has instructions for installing within xwindows I think)

The installer default is what you should have used.

One big root partition, one smaller swap partition, period.



I think that's what I did - although that isn't what the installer wanted me to do - it wanted me to create 4 partitions on different drives as well as forma the drive that XP is installed on

Edited to add:
This website looks useful too:
