But I want to emphasize how I got into this mess: re-using a hard disk on a multi-disk system, I install Ubuntu Lucid from the LiveDVD. It prompts me for the disk to use etc, and I ask it to *completely erase* the hard disk /dev/sde and install a *clean* new version of Ubuntu. This installation process *completes with no errors*, then prompts me to reboot, and **my system is unusable**. So I work eight hours for that.
I quite understand that this is pre-release software. I want to help make it better, but I am new to Ubuntu. Where should I suggest a change to the procedure -- documentation? grub installation scripts?
WORKSFORME!
Great, thanks again for the install guide.

I am willing to test any proposed fixes.
Thanks!
