too small size error at the partition part of the ubuntu 8.04.1 install

i forgot to say the size of my harddisk.
i have 7 gb free space for C,
and 15 gb for D,
and xp is on C, and D for ubuntu.

Please paste the output of

sudo fdisk -l (small L)

Regards

what is that? sudo fdisk -l (small L)

by the way i have just tried to install xubuntu,
it is again the same

sudo fdisk -l contains the partition table so please paste it here

how can i get that?
you may assume me dumb in linux.

OK no problems

go to a terminal (applications > accessories > terminal)

and

Please paste the output of

sudo fdisk -l (small L)

Regards

i figured it out myself, i am learning, :D

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l

The minimum sizes are:

swap = 1024 MB (1 GB)
home = Over 2 GB (2000 MB)
root = Over 4 GB (4000 MB)

You can better manually configure this
or have a look at this
