two versions

[Gary Kirkpatrick]

On boot, there is a list of ubuntu options, then windows, then another list
of options.

If there are two installations, should I, can I get rid of one of them?  I
am very short on disk space and would rather not buy an external drive since
this computer is aging; I think the next one will have a much larger drive.


One is in partition 4, the other in 6.  I think the latter is older, as
bin/bash is april in the former and last decemeber in the latter.

thanks
