Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Delete some partitions from hard drive

You probably would have checked the advanced or do something else option for the partitioning tool to have displayed itself on Mint or some other Linux install set-up tools.

Hi Roy,

I'm going to be watching this thread--I don't
know much about partitioning.

You wrote:

The 14.04 disk has a partition editor on it so you can fix the partitions and re-size as needed. Work from the disk and not from the hard drive or you can mess things up. The partition editor will show you the partitions and the size and file format of each.

Hmm--As I work along in the forthcoming Mint
upgrade, how do I spot the partition editor? I do
recall not seeing the lead-in when I installed 16.

I gather it would be appropriate to have a home
partition at least.
