    That one with the talking toaster .... or is that just a flashback?

    Damn, I'm forgetting a lot still.

    Awesome thread, btw.

  2. thanks much. kmix is perfect. id normally take the command line tool over gui but i needed something i could adjust quickly and gui is needed for it.

    No problem.

    Pro Tip: If you keep a term or two open, you will find that typing alsam<tab> is quicker than finding the kmix icon in a menu.

  3. 1: is there a program to control the volume in ubuntu? i know the volume control it has but its either deafeningly loud or mute. there are 3 sliders on it. the master which makes it go from loud to quiet at about 4/5 max volume. then the rest of the slider is from quiet to mute. the other 2 sliders are doing something different from the first but are identical to each other. if i move them down at all its a drastic change in volume. if i barely move them 1/6 of the way down its muted. its driving me nuts and i wanna know if theres a program that can better handle it. windows has a nice system of 2 sliders. master and wav. i can usually set them both to about midway then i can control the master with the volume on my laptop and things are within a good volume range.

    To tell you the truth, I just use alsamixer from the command line myself, or you could give kmix a shot if you prefer gui-style.

  4. See if ubuntu has Gparted, or some other partition editor.

    Unmount your HHD and run the partition editor.

    Resize the partition.

    If you'd rather do it from the Ubuntu Cd, as DingleBerries suggests, from the command-line:

    sudo umount /dev/hda1

    Should unmount your HDD. If you use the gparted live iso, you won't have to bother with that.

  5. You want to create another cd containing GParted (gnu partition editor). You can resize your existing partitions (as long as you have 15g free space), and create the required parts. Just be careful, during the Ubuntu install there will be a question as to how you want to partition, do it manually and select the partitions you created previously. You can even create a mountpoint (directory where you can access your Windows partition/files from within Ubuntu), from that dialog.

    It's not difficult, just be careful to read the prompts carefully before you click through.

    Good luck.

    (Just an FYI, you want to create two partitions in addition to your Fat32/NTFS, a linux native (preferably EXT2 or EXT3) and a swap partition which should be twice as large as how much RAM your system has - 512Mb of RAM, Swap Partition of 1Gb).
