Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Mint (Mate) Version 17

 

Hi Joan,

You wrote:

If options are grayed out it could mean that Mint auto-mounts your hard drive. Maybe you should download the Gparted LiveCd: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=gparted

Interesting--would it "auto-mount" the hard drive
that early in the install process?

I tried going all the way through and now have an
accidental patten of partitions that seems to be OK
for simple stuff like web browsing. This is intended
to be a learning run--it's not like the old netbook
is needed for critical programs.

How much would the download you suggest differ
from what I got with the

$ sudo apt-get install gparted
$ gksu gparted

code in terminal? A quick trial with that also had
some grayed-out things.
