I was running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and totally goofed up the Operating
System by trying to install i386 32 bit libraries in order to write code
for Android.  In the process of doing this unity was deleted, along with
system settings, and MythTV, and well a whole bunch of software that I
had added.  Plus I had totally goofed up a recent upgrade by apt clean
during an upgrade by mistake.  So I decided to reload the OS which is on
drive sda.  Install on the live CD would not let me install to sda.  It
would let me install to sdb, or sdc, but not sda.  None of the drives
are raided.  Taking out sdc, which has Windows 7 on it, and then live CD
only let me instal to sdb.  I had to disconnect every drive but the one
I wanted in order to reload the OS.  Small pain but totally not nice.

I hadn't seen anything on the forums suggesting that Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64
bit was uncompatible with Eclipse and Java programming for Android.  But
there are a lot of threads out there stating that its safe to load 32
bit libraries on a 64 bit system which didn't make a lot of sense to me.
Obviously I should have listened to myself.
