    ubuntu installer (exe)

    Hi guys, my name is Fabio and I write from Italy, so I'm sorry if my english language is not so correct, but i'll try to do my best..
    My question is link to wubi installer (exe)
    I've read that apart win xp, this installer must have a lot of problem in the other platform..
    I have windows 98 SE.
    Can also I install this?

    That's rather outdated info; it works on any windows version except Vista, currently

    Also, the standard Wubi is rather limited when using Win9x (disk size is limited to 4 GB) so you may want to use this version: http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntu...04-netboot.exe

    It's basically the same as the cd-based install, only it doesn't need a cd. Partitioning is required; it installs on a real partition, not a loopmounted file.

    More info about wubi-netboot here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=427793
