I hope it's a computer literate frog.

Boy, wouldn't that be nice. Hey Frog, one back-slash or two? Oh, OK, thanks ... fix that PEBKAC.

[Qqmike]

if i get that amd 64, grub, what ever it was, seems like in reseraching, you, etc that could be installed via terminal in kubuntu. If so, and it would have to be during the live session, will it keep or go away with the live session?

Lost me there. Not sure what you are referring to.

Oh, you mean the GParted. Yes, if you had installed GParted in your live Kubuntu session, then used it to do the partitioning, when you ended the live session, that GParted you installed would be gone (it existed only in RAM -- the live session does not touch your hard drive unless YOU tell it to touch your hard drive). But after you get Kubuntu installed on the HDD, you can then install GParted there and it will stay, of course, it comes in handy.

If it actually installs, do I punch out, power down, remove flash drive, power up, and ........?

It will inform you and prompt you. I can't recall exactly ... like Installation Complete! and asking if you want to re-boot now, to end this, etc., say Yes, and then it will prompt you when to remove the installation medium (disk, whatever), and to press Enter, and it will automatically re-boot the PC, and then you should see a grub menu offering both Windows and K(U)buntu.

ok. here we go through the steps.

"We"? You got a frog in your pocket?

[logan01]

For me, it always wants to re-format swap, no matter what I do. In your case, just let it go and re-format all 3.

ok. here we go through the steps.

[Qqmike]

In that case, yeah format everything except Windows

Darn, shucks, you caught that So, OK, don't reformat your Windows ............................ let it live ...

[Qqmike]

Just let it format everything /, home, swap. No harm done since you have nothing in any of those.

[Qqmike]

Yes, good point elijathegold. logan01, he's saysing you might NOT want to reformat home if you already put valuable files in your home (docs, pics, videos, etc., or settings, like for Firefox & etc.). In this case, elijathegold, logan01 has nothing in his partitions! And THAT is the problem trying to just get the darned thing installed and up and running. Hang around, we may need more help, I might need a nap ...
