Installing Ubuntu on Linux

Hey Guys, I have a question.

I have a white Asus EEE Pc running Linux, it has 3GB harddrive memory on it. Is there any way I can delete Linux from this computer and install Ubuntu Linux instead, I do not have enough space to dual boot because Linux takes up 68% of the Space already.

Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?

Thanks!

If you don't have a usb cd player, load the ubuntu install on to a usb stick and install it from there. There is plenty information on the ubuntu site as well as others on doing this.; ▶ Reply to This

Then you can format your primary drive and use it as a data storage. Ubuntu requires over 3 GB space (8.10, 9.04...) + the swap partition (but you don't really need that, I guess it wont have enough space when installed on a 3GB storage, but maybe without language packs etc. it could be squeezed into that 3 GB. Still, USB installation and booting from that drive is the best option by my opinion (IMO).; ▶ Reply to This

I went in my C: drive in windows deleted all the files then used a partition manager to clean up everything and take it off of dual boot.; ▶ Reply to This
