Re: Deleting Debian - Enough's enough

[Bob McGowan <bob_mcgowan@symantec.com>]

If your plan is to completely eliminate Debian and re-install with 
Ubuntu, then just boot from the Ubuntu install disk.

When asked what to do with hard disk partitioning, choose to use the 
whole disk, or manually create new partitions.  Do *not* choose anything 
suggestion preserving existing data.  This will remove and recreate 
partitions, *destroying* all existing data.

When installing the boot loader, you may select whatever you like.  It 
will overwrite the existing boot loader with your new selection, 
configured for your new disk environment.

Done :-)
