[ubuntu-uk] Some installation pointers please

Hi David,

You appear to have gotten a lot of info already.

This appears to be the biggest issue from your post. You do the
partitioning yourself and have the installer put ubuntu on the open space -
it should detect the other partitions.

I'll leave you to answer Liam's response and follow George's general
advice. In addition though, in case its useful, here is a good tutorial on
using gparted: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html

Hopefully this helps.
