Desi Cartman Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I have been using pirated windows XP fro a while and I would want to try ubuntu on it. How difficult is it to load a new OS. I have never done it before so please help and tell me the steps Jai Maharashtra
graphic23 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I think you ought to get the Live CD and boot from it and try it out before you install it onto your harddrive. If you like it, you can install off of the Live CD (its an installer CD as well). https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD Make sure that when you burn the iso, you don't burn it as a file onto the CD and that you burn as an image. Then put it in your CD drive. Reboot the computer and boot off the CD.
Desi Cartman Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 cools mR owl .. Ta BTW how do i save it as an image and not as a file :hmmmm2:
Desi Cartman Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 I excite .. my Xp computer is truning off after 5-7 mins :(( bye bye XP welcome Ubuntu
h4te Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 cools mR owl .. Ta BTW how do i save it as an image and not as a file :hmmmm2: i think just copying the .iso file to the cd will be written as an image. but, you can you use this freeware: http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm Ubuntu is one of the most easiest distros to install. Just pop the cd in, and a couple of clicks later, you have working OS.
graphic23 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 cools mR owl .. Ta BTW how do i save it as an image and not as a file :hmmmm2: Er, sorry - I meant that after you download it, burn it as an image and not as a file. Anyways, the link that the messiah provided should help. Any more questions, ask. More people converting to linux = awesomeness at the highest level.

ludhianvi Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 after u pop in the ubuntu iso, it will give u options if you want to test it out, install within windows, or on a different partition I think. It will partition by itself, it did atleast for me. ooh, and it will install firefox by default desi...:D something for fun and goofing around that u may wanna add later Ubuntu Compiz [ame=http://youtube.com/watch?v=7QyyC4LRoYI]YouTube - Ubuntu - Compiz Fusion - Notebook HP[/ame]

vadodaravictor Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Captains , Stage 1 complete -- downloaded - unzipped Stage 2 in progress : burning all extracted files on to CD :isalute: Burning files this way would not work. Your cd burning software should have an option like "burn ISO or burn image". Click on that and point it to iso file you downloaded.
