| LL ON A LVM partition ?? |

Hi, brand new to LL. I read a lot of posts etc. about LL and LVMs but since I'm not really knowledgeable about LVMs and didn't see my situation I think it wise to ask for help before I do myself in.
First off , I don't see where to add my machine info to my profile / acct. So I'll give some info too. Hope that's all right.
Host: jcc Kernel: 3.16.0-38-generic x86_64 (64 bit, gcc: 4.8.2)
Desktop: Cinnamon 2.6.13 Distro: Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela
Machine: System: Dell product: OptiPlex 755
Mobo: Dell model: 0GM819 Bios: Dell version: A09 date: 03/11/2008
CPU: Quad core Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 (-MCP-) cache: 4096 KB Graphics: Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] RV610 [Radeon HD 2400 PRO/XT]
I have a 500 GB drive which is my secondary drive btw.
with /dev/sdb1 524 MB — 464 MB free (11.6% full) Linux (Bootable) Ext4 (version 1.0) — Mounted at /media/jcc/1810461e-55eb-4adb-93ac-9dbef1c32f1a
and
/dev/sdb2 500 GB (499,582,500,864 bytes) Linux LVM LVM2 Physical Volume (LVM2 001) Installed on this is Pisi os
Pisi = 435 GB — 350 GB free (19.6% full) /dev/VolGroup/lv_home Ext4 (version 1.0) — Mounted at /media/jcc/d70d0a6a-88e2-428a-ac4f-48e6ec95dfbd
However, I also have , installed alongside Pisi , Semplice os and a 10 GB block device for swap
Semplice = 54 GB — 46 GB free (13.5% full) /dev/VolGroup/lv_root Ext4 (version 1.0) — Mounted at /media/jcc/61abe400-ef78-4922-a07b-c8d67c6a8679
my question is: I want to install LL on this drive . Is it safe or proper partitioning to just resize with gparted and create a new partition and install to it ; or is there more to it than that? At the moment this drive is my only one with enough size / space left to install to.
If a screenshot of gparted or " disks " is needed let me know . thank you all very much

Hi..I want to reinstall LL . I dual boot Windows Vista,Lite,Mint Mate,Mint Xfce,LXLE and Peppermint. Id like to install LL in the partition LL is occupying. I have done a search and could not find a tutorial. I can follow instructions but some of the terms experts use lose me. I have installed these distros along side Vista but never replaced a distro in the same partition. Any help would be much appreciated. Dan

"[size=1.35em]Google Chrome to block Flash by default, potentially dealing final blow to hated software"
http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/15/116793...later-2016
Questions:
a) Does this mean pepperflash-non free is also on the way out.
b) What happens in the switch over period where "millions"? of sites become un-usable.
c) The repository hosts adobe-flash plugin- is this now safe? should it be used as all?
d) What are the ramifications for LL?
as an aside - should the same be considered for Java plugins - unsafe ?

| mp3 player not recognised |

Having previously managed my Zen mp3 player on a Windows machine, I've now switched exclusively to Linux Lite 2.8.
My machine now will not recognise the player plugged in to any usb connection. Any ideas?
Also, and I guess it's a long shot, is their any possible support for Zen Media Manager/Organiser on Linux?
