I while ago I installed Ubuntu completely on my netbook that came with Windows 7 Starter. I hated the idea of just having starter and not the whole Widows 7 so I decided to switch to Linux. When I downloaded Ubuntu I completely took off Windows I didn't combine it. I installed openSUSE because I couldnt upload pics from my cam for some reason with Ubuntu. I REALLY dislike openSUSE and I want Ubuntu again until I get another laptop or OS for my netbook. I do not understand how to do anything on openSUSE. Can anyone please help me step by step how I go about installing Ubuntu again. I know I'm going to need a flash stick and I do but I have no idea what to do with the ISO or IOS?? file because openSUSE only lets me read whats on the stick not change/delete/add.... Help please....


How to go from openSUSE to Ubuntu.....????I wrote that on the openSUSE forums and someone told me to come here.... Bleh... I thought they could help since it's openSUSE that won't let me put the file for Ubuntu on my flash stick so that I can boot from it... :confused:

You could try using Unetbootin to create a bootable usb flash drive to install Ubuntu:
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/usb
Then install Ubuntu. See the above site for getting started with Ubuntu:
http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/
Also check out the Ubuntu manual: http://ubuntu-manual.org/
You will need to do some reading and learning to get the most out of any linux distro. You will not learn everything in a day, a week, or even a month. How much you decide to learn is entirely up to you.
Write back if you need more help.

And welcome to the Ubuntu forums!

Is that all they told you? :wink:

The links tommcd has posted should do you fine, but do you have access to another machine and, if so, what operating system? It's possible to create a bootable USB for installing Ubuntu using Windows if that is what you have available.
