Question

I'm currently dual-booting two Linux-based operating systems on my laptop, Jolicloud and Ubuntu 10.10. How do I remove Jolicloud completely?

Remove it from /boot/grub/menu.lst and use gpartd to delete the partition and re-create it as something else.

Theoretically all you have to do is

Backup to at least 7 1/2 armored and padlocked locations around the world, in at least 6 different continents and pray to the unicorns that your data loves you.
Boot into Ubuntu and run gparted and delete the Jolicloud partition.
Apply changes.
Run sudo update-grub and reboot.

Which sounds way too easy. But should work.
