[nflug] ubuntu 6.10 works great

  I have 20gb of unallocated space for ubuntu. I tried
to use the ubuntu partiton tool but its not very
friendly. It only seems like it lets yo create one
partition in the pull down list. How do I create the
swap and root partitions? then use rest of drive for
the install?
