Thank you it did the job, but I must of did some thing cause it messed up my install.
I have 1TB sata hhd. Can you send me to a place in here that gives me the numbers
on how to partition my hard drive.

Like how much swap, home and every thing. I checked out how to, just need the
numbers. swap, ext2 or ext4. how much home and things like that. This Vector is nice.

FAST and everybody likes fast.

I installed lubuntu, ubuntu, xubuntu by server and installed and used all of disk
and let it partition on it's own, but never partitioned it on my own. I really need
to know this.

@ooseven, do you want to keep your ubuntu install or are you dedicating the drive to Vector.

If you are dedicating the drive to Vectorlinux you have two ways you can partion for the install, but the size of your partitions can vary by choice.

The most basic would be a partition for swap and a partition for /  (everything else.)

Your swap partition does not have to be big, just 1x to 2x ram.  As a rule of thumb. So if you have a gig of ram you may use 1gig or 2gigs for a swap partition. I've got a couple systems with 6-8 gigs of ram, but I personally have not seen a benifit to making swap any bigger than 2 gigs.  Opinions differ on this. 
The rest can be for partitioned for ' /' (everything else).

The other common choice would be a partition for 'Swap' a partition for '/' and a partition for 'home'.  This is a good choice for when you want to upgrade later on and don't want to have to backup and reload your data on to the new install.

Swap is well, swap,  '/' is where all the filesystems that make up VL will go and 'home' is where all your personal data files will go along with hidden files that will store your user preferences for different applications.

Same sizing rules as above for swap.  / should be sized according to your appetite for installing programs, but with a terebyte drive you have plenty of space, so why not give it 100 gigabytes and you don't have to worry about much.  As for 'home' it can have the remainder of the available space.

These numbers can be played with in a lot of ways that would still work out just fine.
As far as file system choice, I use ext4, I think it would be a safe choice for you.

Hope that helps.
