    How did you install ubuntu?

    How did you install ubuntu?

    Maybe you have it installed through virtualization? Maybe you have it installed to a USB disk?

    This thread is to share the way you installed ubuntu. Please do not post support questions about installation issues.

    Other => debootstrap and chroot from an existing install.

    I also had to do this to install ubuntu 32-bit in UEFI mode.

    Is there a way to change the vote?

    "All of the above", the answer I would give, seems to be missing.

    Good thing it's a multi-select.

    Re: How did you install ubuntu?

    Hello,

    At work, I use a basic Ubuntu Server image. I clone the machine and I use SaltStack to set it up.

    At home, I enjoy the CD/DVD installation

    Just my 2 cents.

    Have a nice day

    Bought a pre made DVD online from a store seller of copies of multiple distros. As my DVD RW is a bit dodgy.

    I have a Pure install of Ubuntu Studio on my Media PC and had Ubuntu that I customized on my Dual WIN/Linux gaming PC...I now have Netrunner OS on that main PC.

    Netrunner contribute to Kubuntu and is based on the buntu's so i'm not so naughty not having Ubuntu on main PC.

    Only 'special' thing to add is that I installed Kubuntu over an existing Ubuntu install to preserve /home. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityPreserveHome

    Re: How did you install ubuntu?

    I personally don't like dual booting. To me, it's one thing or another. So, on my laptop I choosed to remove Windows and install Ubuntu as my one and only OS. Same thing on my older Pentium 4 desktop computer, byebye XP and Lubuntu owns the machine now, otherwise it would be useless.

    Re: How did you install ubuntu?

    Ditto. The only one I haven't done is through virtualisation. My favourite method seems to be via debootstrap followed up with chroot.
    BACKUPS are unsexy — until you discover you should have done one yesterday.
    Spare your nerves and do one before you upgrade or install.
