i have maexd a ext3 partition, but the noobuntu installer crashes when i try to set a mountpoint, is there a way i can use terminal to change the mountpoint /' to /dev/sda3 before i run the installer so when it lists the available partitions, it will already see /dev/sda3 as / instead of how it currently mounts as /media/untitled thus avoiding the need to make changes to the disk, and hopefully avoiding the installer crash?when i plug my ubuntu box into my Airport Extreme ethernet it doesn't establish a connection. but when i plug it into my powerbook's ethernet with the powerbook sharing it's internet connection through the ethernet, the ubuntu box makes a connection. any ideas why that would be?
