I have Xp and 4 Linuxes on this laptop. I'd like to keep two Linuxes
and erase the other two, so as to try a different
os (or two) on the machine. The problem is, I can only be sure of some
of the partitions ; from grub I can puzzle out some of the partitions,
but there are two I can't ID--sda9 and sda10. Here is the df output,
with my known systems
added on:
doug at localhost ~]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on Known
/dev/sda5 12G 3.9G 7.4G 35%
/ PCLOS
/dev/sda7 11G 561M 10G 6% /home PCLOS
/dev/sda9 33G 176M 32G 1% /media/disk ?
/dev/sda8 28G 5.5G 21G 21% /media/disk-1 Debian
/dev/sda13 46G 3.1G 41G 8% /media/disk-2 MINT
/dev/sda11 33G 2.8G 29G 9% /media/disk-3 Ubuntu
/dev/sda1 31G 20G 11G 64% /media/disk-4 XP
/dev/sda10 20G 4.6G 15G 25% /media/disk-5 ?
I _think_sda9 is Ubuntu, but not sure. I'm looking at this from PCLOS.
If it would help to look from one of the
other distros, please suggest which, and what to look for, and where.
(Some of this I got from grub's menu.lst,
some from working from Dolphin and from knowing what was where.)
Is there any software that will "fish out" the distro name from the
available information?
Thanx--doug
