Godlord Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 @Hippoman:> But wont that also delete all my files and delete Windows?Not if you do it right.Just make sure you've 10GB or more on a partition or at least free space (and split it) and use it to install Ubuntu on it.@Zetta:> actually:> download it> mount it> run it> > @hippo noWubi? Meh, I like to use a new partition for that though.@Hippo: you just download an ISO from the site from whatever mirror.Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing we have 50 on my D drive now!> > Does it need to be 10GB's on my D or C drive?The partition doesn't matter, as long as you don't use the Windows partition.btw. 10GB is what I suggest for low app-usage install. I usually use 20GB because of all the applications and stuff I use.Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippoman789 Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hmm ok. I hate downloading this. 38 minutes.EDIT:WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 After the checksum:1\. Get [ImgBurn](http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download).2\. Install it.3\. Open up the application.4\. Select the ISO file @ Select File (click on the left folder icon).5\. Insert a CD or DVD which is rewritable or at least writeable.6\. Then click on the Write CD (CD > CD icon).7\. Wait while it burns.**Protip**: check the box called 'Verify disc after burning.**Protip**: run at 4x for a non-faulty burn, the faster the higher the risc for errors.@Hippoman:> Hmm ok. I hate downloading this. 38 minutes.> > EDIT:> WTF?Checksum is for verification, to check if the file isn't corrupt.Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godlord Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Getting to Ubuntu:1\. Insert the disc.2\. (Re)boot your PC.3\. Linux Ubuntu should now appear.4\. Select the language you want by using your arrow keys and press enter.5\. Now you get a list of five options, select the topmost option and press enter.6\. Wait while Linux Ubuntu is starting.7\. Now Linux Ubuntu should appear and you can already use applications like Firefox and Pidgin (MSN and stuff).Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
