#1. i just bought a couple of CDs (RW) and they're all 700mb. i'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 but the iso is 714mb. now i haven't tried burning it and i'm thinking it should work...
#2. can I do this? burn the CD, boot windows from CD, and install ubuntu on a brand new blank partition that has nothing to do with windows whatsoever, a partition that simply has space, can ubuntu install that way and can i still execute a dual boot that way?
#3. can i install ubuntu from a flash drive (alongside windows, not within) and how big would that flash drive have to be?
#4. what is the most convinient way of installing ubuntu?
i have installed it within windows vista a few times and it has trouble detecting nvidia. BTW, i'm on a laptop. somebody told me that because you install ubuntu within windows, it might bug more and won't be as stable, which makes sense...
another problem i was having was basic visual bugs, like the minimize, maximize and close buttons on top of a window would just disappear from time to time.
that's all guys, please enlighten me a little bit because i like ubuntu, the whole community thing is nice and i really don't want to go back to windows.
