Great!


Okay, thanks for the reply. I'll try this out as soon as my new harddrive arrives. The floppy install I found requires actual floppy disks to be used, though. I can of course fill four...

[Can we please get a separate UNetbootin forum please? :)]

I'm thinking of buying a new harddrive to my old Compaq Armada M300 and don't have any way to boot onto anything from the computer. What...

I managed to take a look at this yesterday and indeed the grub stuff was missing from config.sys. I added the following lines to my config.sys file after installation (but before pressing the...

I'm not on my computer to check for this right now, but I'll do ASAP and report back. If UNetbootin isn't able to fix config.sys, I'll just hack it myself according to the nice explanation in that...

I ran the Ubuntu 7.10 Windows installer in Windows 98 and the Windows-part of the installation seemed to go fine, but then it asks me to boot and when I do, it's like nothing happened. Grub doesn't...

Ah, UNetbootin seems like the perfect match. Thanks for pointing it out!

Oh, then I've misunderstood the point of Wubi completely. You see, I'm stuck with a computer without a CD ROM or floppy drive, and no way to boot off a network (the BIOS doesn't have the option)....

Aha! But, "within a file", what does that mean? Is this file extracted upon every boot or what? Why doesn't Wubi allow Ubuntu to be installed normally, like on its own partition? (Sorry for being a...

In Wubi, the installation asks what partition to install to. What I wonder is; will this partition be wiped? Won't I get the opportunity to partition my harddisk like in usual Ubuntu installations?...

I gave Wubi 7.10 Alpha another try, and here's more information about the error I get:


UBUNTU-7 caused an exception 03H in the module MSVCRT.DLL at 0167:7800e34d.

Registry:

Is the error I encountered caused by something in my environment or a bug in Wubi? I'd love to innstall Xubuntu with Wubi on my Compaq Armada M300, but can't right now because there's no floppy disk...

I just tried Wubi 7.10 Alpha and got the following error message:


Assertion failed!

Amen! Kind of sad to think of how "sticking it to the man" in too many cases ends up being "sticking it to yourself". This is one of those cases.
