Hey so I installed Ubuntu 11.10 via bootable-usb, with partition and everything, but I want to try out Ubuntu 10.10, so:

Can I install ubuntu 10.10 with wubi ??
How would it boot?

Thanks in advance

Don't go there. Ubuntu 10.10 reached end of life quite some time ago and is not supported.

10.04 LTS supported to this April, 12.04 LTS until April 2017.

Wubi is intended for Windows ... If you want to try another release just try it from the LiveCD (the install CD).

Oh, so that means I can't use it anymore? I mean, It won't download software or updates for that release???
