There are some short videos explaining how to install Ubuntu at screencasts.ubuntu.com

Try them, and then ask any questions that you have.

Double post. Sorry.

i'm using a flash drive to format/intall OS on my netbook.

First download the Ubuntu .iso file.

Use something like unetbootin to make a Live USB stick with your .iso file.

http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Boot into XP and save everything you wouldn't want to lose.

Boot from the USB flash to ensure that you can get to the desktop and that things appear to work, then install.

Are you installing alongside XP or over it ?

omg this is even better.. LOL.. i'm planning to install over it.. I've downloaded the ISO and the universal USB installer..
:p
