Destination Folder
Where should I send my large files? Documents, Desktop, doesnt work for me. There is not enough space there.
I have Ubuntu 8.10 My pc have 160 gb hd. I dont know how much was alloted to Ubuntu. Thanks! |
in terminal use df -h
This should show you where your largest partition is and where it's mounted. Make a directory there (mkdir directory_name) and send files to that location |
Hello BigEmpty,

did you install ubuntu or are you using a live cd?
/media/disk is your largest partition at 134 GB |
The mountpoint (Mounted On) is the directory to go to, so:
in a terminal: Code:
cd /media/disk Code:
mkdir yourdirname Also if you put output from a command here in a post then please put it between the code tags (#) in the icon bar of the post so that it keeps its formatting which is easier to read. Can you type in a terminal the following and put the output here (between code tags) Code:
ls / Code:
du -h / Eric |

Oh and by the way. I was able to restore the Windows XP by wiping out the whole drive and starting over. However, I cant connect to the internet. So I came back here and voila! I connected to Mozilla. Although I am in liveCD now I am considering installing Ubuntu. I really like this Linux. Thanks! |
Hi,
So there's your problem, you're running LiveCD. Install Ubuntu to harddisk and it'll solve your problems. Kind regards, Eric |

I would run windows disk defrag and then resize your windows partition by about 50 GB and install linux on that 50 GB partition. |
