    I have an aspire one with 120 GB disk partitioned between linpus linux and ubuntu.
    The ubuntu partition has been corrupted.
    I wish to delete the corrupted ubuntu partition and then reinstall ubuntu.
    Can anyone recommend a partition manager which can be installed and run from within linpus linux
    and then delete/repartition the remainder of the disk?

    GParted is available on most linux distributions. I cannot remember if Linpus includes it. You may need to enable "expert mode" to get to GParted.

    Alternatively, you could create a live Linux distribution (e.g. Ubuntu) on a USB stick. Boot from the USB and use GParted to modify your partitions. This is probably more sensible as the USB stick can then be used for the install.
