Back on, with Feisty
On Sunday, I decided to switch to Ubuntu-Feisty. After changing the sources.lst, I realized, that there was not enough space on my system partition to do all the new downloads.
So it was obvious a CD-Installation would be the easier way. I thought if I am doing new install already, I could give another Linux-distri a try. In the recent time I noticed two projects, which seemed interesting to me. One is Paldo and one Foresight Linux. I wasn`t shure which one to try first, because both projects are quite young and there repositories are not that big yet. So finally I decided to give Paldo try. Paldos repos are a bit more extensive than those of Foresight-Linux, also the idea interested me a little more.
So after downloading a image of a Paldos Install-CD, I started with the installation, as described in the documentation. Bootstrapping went fine and was also faster than I expected. The only thing that I didn know was, that Paldo can`t handle an extra /boot partition. So I couldn`t get Paldo to boot-up for some reason. Even after playing arround with the Grub boot-options, Paldo stopped booting at one step were it said it couldn't find a propper root-partition.
So finally I burned my already downloaded Feisty-Image and installed. So I am back now, with a fresh Feisty installation. All I can say so far, is that it runs fairly stable already.
