hey guys. i have lucid puppy up and running.
id love to use ubuntu but the SSD only shows 400mb remaining.

my question is, how can i format the drive in lucid puppy?

the only partition that shows is 1.85gb free space !
400mb is the original, and the rest is from the UBUNTU distro thats on there.

i want to completely remove everything and start over.
i accidently made a huge ubuntu partition and have no disk space left.

do i have to reinstall ubuntu, then delete the files from there?
i had ubuntu on a flashdrive but never ran it since.

or can i remove the ubuntu partition somewhere in lucid puppy?

i have tried gdisk thingy. it shows only the free space.

thanks

plz help :D

Install Debian Linux, that way you know what you are installing and can get a really functional system while using minimal space.

THanks for your replies, it failed boot disk and s.m.a.r.t. Declares health as bad.
So like only fix is to buy new ssd drive?
