I have downloaded 'ubuntu-8.04.2-desktop-i386' from a listed server. I would like to install it via wubi. Initially i was getting a download error, it was fixed. But now the wubi, that came with the package is downloding the whole iso again, i have the same files i think. Please tell me how to skip this step and continue with the installation? My iso is saved @ C:\Downloads I opened the file run the 'wubi' it created a folder C:\ubuntu again i saved the iso and wubi here.:confused:
