How do you do partition the SD card?

Per the tutorial posted here:

How the heck do you do the partition part?

I cannot figure that out.  Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks guys.

load an Ubuntu live cd, when it boots up, plug your phone in.

turn on usb storage in your phone.

run gparted (I don't remember if it is in the menu, but you can just open a terminal and type gparted)

change the bar in the top right from hda to the other one (either hda to sda, or sda to sdb)

it will show how your sd card is partitioned.  if it is reporting the same size as your sd card, you know you are at the right place.  right click on your existing partition, and delete it (note: this will delete everything on the sd card, you may wish to back it up first)

then create 2 partitions, one as fat32, one as ext3.


And you are done.  As a bonus, you have Ubuntu running on your computer and dont have to use windows anymore 

Really???
www.ubuntu.com














If you are joking, then i'm slapping myself in the forehead already

to be honest, i didn't even have a clue what "ubuntu" was and i was on my phone so i didn't feel like googling it myself...

rofl.  You could choose to install ubuntu, but no. Simply running it from the CD would merely boot off of the CD. You'd still have your windows stuff on your computer. ^^

if you don't understand it then you probably don't need root on your phone right now. you defly don't need root if you don't know what ubuntu is.

After posting I came to the same conclusion so I wrote a little step by step tutorial for this. It even has pictures. http://randomtechinfo.com/blog/?p=109

I think I'll wait till this is all a bit cleaner...
