    [SOLVED] Trying to install Mint 9 over ubuntu 9.10??

    Hey guys, me again...I have a dual boot, Ubuntu 9.10 and Lucid 10.04. I want to install Mint 9 over ubuntu 9.10 so I have a dual boot of Mint 9 and lucid. I'm in step 5 of the 8 steps, which is manual install but I cant figure out what to do next. 9.10 is in /dev/sda6 and the swap is /dev/sda7. When I highlight the partition that has 9.10 and click forward I get the message: No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu. I'm a noobie at this and do not know what to do next. PLEASE HELP!!!

    Thanks in advance

    You are not assigning any mount point for / partition of Mint. In which partition did you install 9.10? Select that partition and assign / mount point in drop down list of mount point in partition section.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
