ITs better than Windows plain and simple
why the fuck would you want to install linux?
When burning the CD it must be burned as an “image” not a simple data burn. Roxio will do this for you. I’m not sure about any burning software. I think this is one of the most overlooked instructions in all of linux, even ubuntu’s instructions leave this out. Keep trying folks it’s worth it !
When i put my ubuntu 9.04 DVD into the drive and then boot up the computer it won’t boot to the ubuntu OS setup what do i do??! I even checked the BIOS to see if i could change anything, and it appears that the CD/DVD-ROM is first on the list, so is the DVD non-bootable?
prob ill try it out thx
it downloads as a image, all you have to do is burn it to the disc
I did that. Anyway, I got it all up and running. I used Wubi.
he forgot to say that you need to burn an ISO image to the cd
Couldn’t u just mount the image?
You forgot to mention to burn the Iso as an image…
I have both linux and windows,And they seem fine to me
shut the hell up selip22, moron
Linux sounds stupid
windows sounds awsome
linux add is stupid owned
windows add is awsome
linux is complicated
windows is easy to use
When i try to do it a screen comes up with loads of things saying [OK] and then it says [starting bluetooth] and it stays there and nothing happens please help me!!!!
When I put the CD in the drive and reboot, none the the things in your video happen.
I’m confused.
I tried to install Linux. I made a CD, chose to install it with all the different options (at different times, of course) and NONE of them work. It says Linux is installed, but it doesn’t boot. Not even after I left it for more than an hour. I put in a request for a free Ubuntu CD.
Am I doing something wrong?
Generally you don’t need to install drivers under linux, everything just plugs and plays. Your motherboard and DVD should both be fine. If you want to play dvd movies you will need to add the dvd player codecs, info on doing that is on the ubuntu website.
Best advice – try it out and see. Most modern hardware is supported fine, but some cheapo-windows only based wifi cards and modems still don’t work great unless you force it to use your windows drivers.
will the drivers for my motherboard dvd plaayer etc.. work with linux?
well, there is a way to run it in live mode off of a external hard disk, but i dont know if that is particularly what you had in mind..
i havent heard of installing straight from a hardrive though
thanks for the videos, I tried installing the ubuntu i downloaded a long time ago ( 8.04) onto my pc and when I went for update there was a error so Im going to follow through with you on getting ubuntu 8.10
