Wubi works by installing Ubuntu to a disk image that is stored in the partition.<br /> The disk image being c:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/linux#post-32505 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 06:52:38 +0000 JKay 32505@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Wow I didnt know you could have both installed on the same partition, sorry for the questions, I've tried to use wubi, I have the installer but I dont have the patience with the slow internet here to download the 700g file for ubuntu... I'll have to try it in a week when I get home for vacation. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/linux#post-32503 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 06:49:13 +0000 Lighthouse 32503@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Um..no. You either boot into Vista OR Ubuntu. Not both at the same time </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/linux#post-32501 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 06:44:58 +0000 JKay 32501@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>So if I use wubi and run ubuntu with it, I'm still getting all my resources sucked by vista? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/linux#post-32498 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 06:38:29 +0000 Lighthouse 32498@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>It doesn't create a partition. Just creates a folder, like when you install any s/w </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/linux#post-32496 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 06:33:20 +0000 JKay 32496@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>yes but in the installer doesnt wubi give you a choice of a partition? On the part where it wants to set aside 8-30 gigs for linux? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/linux#post-32494 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 06:29:20 +0000 Lighthouse 32494@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Yes you do need to download Ubunto, but Wubi does it for you (you have a choice of which Linux's it can download).<br /> It sets up a dual boot system, with no need for repartitioning. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/linux#post-32476 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 04:00:24 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 32476@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>and the most popular linux os would probs be ubuntu but it really depends on what you are going to be using it for. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/linux#post-32415 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:48:43 +0000 newagepirate 32415@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Ill probably post monday and tell you how it went, if I get time to do it this weekend </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/linux#post-32414 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:48:01 +0000 whs 32414@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>OK, that sounds great. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/linux#post-32413 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:46:42 +0000 newagepirate 32413@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I have xp so it should be just fine </p>
