I guess I will wait until the CD that I requested comes. I dont mind reinstalling because it'll reinforce how to do things in Ubuntu. I hope it arrives soon.

I followed the instructions in the Wubi form and my last query changed to this:



If I am reading it correctly, it now has the Linux partition. I have re-edited menu.lst and tried to use the...

I love Google Chrome, it's my browser of choice and I'm eagerly awaiting a Linux version of it. I dont like Firefox.

Alright, I'm nearly at my ropes end with trying to get Ubuntu to be my default hard drive on start up. I've tried many things, downloading 'start up manager' and editing my menu.lst. No matter what...

That's what I was thinking of doing, but being a beginner I didnt want to royally screw my computer.

Here is my info:


# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)

I wanted to bump this since I was having WoW problems myself and after I found this tread was able to set it up and get it running problem free.

Oh, oh, oh, I can help! Okay, go to a site that requires flash, youtube for example, then click on get missing add-on. It'll take you to the Flash website where you get 3 download options, I...

As stated before, Pigin works great. I dont use a lot of the advanced features of MSN messenger, so I dont know how those work... but I do enjoy the utility of using AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and Gtalk all...

I would imagine that it has a great deal to do with personal preference. I personally prefer Ubuntu, XP and OSX to Vista, but measuring "better" is tricky and since Ubuntu and Vista are not the...

That may have been it, I'll try installing it on the primary hard drive.

I have Grub installed, but for the life of me I cant get Ubuntu to be the primary boot. Does it matter that I have it installed on my 'second' hard drive?

Same here, installed Wine and started playing WoW, easy as pie.

I'm having the incomplete terrain problem as well, I have an nvidia card. It's not every texture, but most outdoor ground textures are just really basic, there will be no road or distinguishing...

That is GLORIOUS news because WoW was the very specific program that I was thinking of!

I was wondering if it is possible to transfer programs from my XP partition and have them function, with Wine, on the Ubuntu partition? Other wise I'd have to reinstall them and update and patch...
