[OCLUG-Tech] multiple ubuntus more information

> I just upgraded from ubuntu 6.10 to 7.10 via 7.04
> using the 7.04 and 7.10 ubuntu disks.
> Could someone please help get me out of the corner I am in.
> I now have 4 versions of ubuntu, one is 6.10, one is 7.04,
> one is 7.10 and I didn't check what the 4th one is.

The above information was not exactly accurate.
Since I don't know exactly what is going let me post
some more information on each of the ubuntus I have.
Hopefully someone can then tell me how to get to
a single 7.10 ubuntu (hopefully with my 6.10 ubuntu home directory).

Upon closer inspection I to have 5 ubuntus listed at start up.
The first is  7.10.  The rest all seem to be identical and
my initial  6.10 version.
