Hi.
So how exactly do I create a new install? Would I download and burn the ISO
from ubuntu.com and select certain settings in the installation program?
And I suppose that I would wait for about a month for all of the bugs to get
worked out (and for the ubuntu.com servers to lighten up a bit).
For me, GRUB 1 and ext3 are working just fine. After sending that last
message, I found a few other emails from this mailing list that described
data loss problems with ext4 (considering that it's a newer version), and if
it's not that much better than ext3, and if ext3 is working just fine, then
I suppose I have no problem with sticking to ext3, at least for now. And
while GRUB 2 seems to be quite interesting and all, I have also found
messages floating around about GRUB 2 issues that I'm not in the mood to fix
(and never will be), so I figure I can wait for GRUB 2 to have the last few
bugs worked out.
I don't have any weird hardware, as far as I know, so I'm probably okay in
that camp.
So I'll probably just do a regular upgrade in about a month.
Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone.bit
It's the first time that I'm upgrading on this computer, and I'm now a
hesitant about upgrading.so
On the computer I had before this (which wasn't a very good machine), I
upgraded once, and lost all of the graphics effects because the graphics
driver was lost. The next time, I lost several programs, and could not
figure out why. However, at that time, I was still using windows a lot,
it wasn't that important that Ubuntu was having problems.least
My Ubuntu computer now is currently the only computer that I have (at
I'm not using windows anymore!), so I'm a bit more nervous, considering
I've never had a successful upgrade.
Also, when I was reading the release notes for 9.10, I noticed that ext4
and GRUB 2 won't be installed on an upgraded computer - only a fresh
install. Would there be any way of creating a fresh install, but with all
of my programs and files (and I do mean EVERYTHING: Virtualbox VMs, Wine
programs, game saves, Compiz settings, etc), while still having ext4 and
GRUB 2?
Thanks in advance.
I have tried to upgrade a couple of ubuntus, and it never worked out well
for
me, so until further, i newinstall
