So the first problem is i filled up the harddrive and therefore i have a problem with GNOME, so i was told the easist option is to reinstall ubuntu.

I have nothing important on the hard drive

But i need a good guide to help me to reinstall it unbuntu net book edition with a USB stick.

I can only get a command screen- sorry for the lack of correct terms, I just need to know what to write to install ubuntu from my USB stick

If anyone could help it would be great Its now 2 weeks since ive had it working.

How did you install the first time? Was it from the USB stick? If yes, set the netbook in the BIOS to boot from USB, it should boot again, unless you have done something to the USB stick.

If you 'filled up the hard drive', and you have a command prompt, just remove some of the unnecessary files, that may save the re-install.

I havent found a way to remove the unnecessary files... Again i have no idea of commands, i looked and did try many commands but i dont know the names of files i need to delete.
My friend installed ubuntu the first time on his USB, I have a different USB.

I hope that helps

The command to remove a file is 'rm nameoffile' ( without the quotes, modify the nameoffile to the real file name ).
\To remove a directory, after it is empty, 'rmdir nameofdir'. You can use wild cards as well. the $ sign is a wild card for one position, and * for multiple positions.

What did you do to fill up the disk?

You will need to navigate to the area where the junk is. The 'cd' command ( change directory command ) is used to navigate.

Your stuff will be in a directory, /home/yourusername . To get there you would type 'cd /home/yourusername' . Then so a ls command, to see the directories at that point.

Possibly your friend can help?

thanks, a friend put her memory card in my computer.. thought she put the photos on my external harddrive.. but no... I have no idea what they would be called. hmm Dont have anyone that can help at the moment.
But i will try and remove things and see what happens, worst situation is I will still need to reinstall ubuntu.

oh better, is there a way to empty my 8 GB harddrive in my computer? Because that has useless things on it IF i could just completed remove everything on that it would be okay.

Most cameras store photos as .jpg or .JPG files. You could look for them. The part before the extension is some arcane name, usually numbers and letters. It all depends on the camera manufacturer.

Not sure what you are asking here.

Have you got an extra disk? If it is in use, removing it may stop the system from booting at all. It all depends where it is mounted in the file system and what is on it.
