Hi All, Overcame the need for an Alternate Install, by booting into the TryMe mode of Trusty desktop, and Ctrl-Alt-F1'ing to a terminal and executing the fdisk etc. that I wanted to in the first place.
Noticed that Ubuntu 10.4 (?) wouldn't let the user back into the GUI by Ctrl-Alt-F7'ing, but that Trusty does once again. Good. Never discovered any non-cosmetic differences between terminal switching and opening a terminal window within the GUI. Carl Bayswater On 22/04/14 12:08, Trent W.
