Hi,
Im a comlete noob to Linux and this is my first post and install so please be gentle! I would like to use Ubuntu or any format of linux instead of win 7 which is now too dull....I have just downloaded the Ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386 ISO. and tried to install Via win 7 in Wubi.
I cant get a 2GB usb stick so i used Wubi to install. there are links (provided on request) saying that you can download the ISO and run it direct via windows so i tried this and it fails. ( i have also allowed Wubi to connect to the net and this took a respective 2 hours to fail and the second time only 45 mins to fail) to hence why i tried the direct download install and there lies the problem..
I have placed the ISO in the same folder as reqested and run wubi, firstly it tried to download again so I canceled and uninstalled then turned my Wifi off to prompt it to run direct but there is no option to allow this.
Basicly I have a samsung NC10 (out of the PC world config) with Win 7 (enterprise)
I managed to get puppy linux to run off the USB (with massive problems with drivers etc which iis why I am trying Ubuntu)
The irony is that I could of got my netbk with Ubuntu pre installed to save my self the conversion/ hassle lol
Can some one please advise me how to install Ubuntu (latest version) to my NC10 via Windows 7 using Wubi??
All your help would be greatly appreciated and sorry for such a discriptive post but information is key.... I can upload the logs of the failed installs if you need
Kind regards
