Article Title: hard disk installation Ubuntu8.10 cannot be partitioned. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
The solution for unpartitioned Ubuntu 8.10 hard drive installation is to use a USB flash drive or dual hard drive to help partition. It is complicated to use. You must first create a boot USB flash drive, today, we found that someone has proposed a better solution in the Ubuntu Chinese forum. We do not need to use a USB flash disk or dual hard disk. We can smoothly partition the hard disk during the installation process, but use an alternate image.
The detailed steps are as follows:
1. Perform the partitioning step for the hard disk installation. When the dialog box is blank, press ALT + F2 to enter shell (the built-in shell of busybox) and return to the command prompt.
2. In shell ls, you will find a directory named hd-media. Go in and check that the directory is the mount point of the hard disk partition that stores the iso image.
3. After checking, return to the root directory from hd-media and use umount-l hd-media to uninstall it. The "-l" parameter must be added; otherwise, it cannot be uninstalled.
4. After uninstallation, press ALT + F1 to return to the installation interface. At this time, stop at the partitioning step and go to the "Installation Program Main Menu" through the "return" button under the dialog box. Then, select "hard disk partition" again ", in this case, the partitioning step should be normal and you can see the hard disk partition scanned by it.
Fifth, partition the hard disk and complete the installation!
