Hello,
I am having trouble re-installing Ubuntu. There is an installation
from over a year ago. I did not use it for a while and forgot the
password.
Can someone give me information on how I can get rid of the old
copy of Ubuntu (and maybe all that I installed since then)?
I see that there is a version 9.xx. Have not been able to read any
postings on it. Should I use that instead of version 8.10? It might
not matter since I don't see any advantages of using Vista instead
of XP. I just want to be able to use applications and access the
internet.
Someone told me to do a new install. I have done this a few times
and after the intallation and restart I get only the original listed on
the selection screen (and Windows Vista, which I am trying to get
away from using).
I was sort of forced to make the switch because the Comcast
provided version of McAfee did not block a trojan, which hosed up
my other computer (learned several years ago to have a computer
specifically for internet access because of such problems). I am
sure that it was some trojan because two neighbors and a sales
person told me that their computers stopped working around two
weeks ago.
Thanks in advance
Thomas
