Ok, I’ve got a spare 80gb drive, blank, and I want to run Ubuntu Linux on it. my problem being that, while I’ve downloaded 6 different ISOs, both desktop and server, none of them were actual live CDs. they were all “try it without altering your system!” garbage… so yeah, they all need the NTLDR in order to even think about doing anything. does anybody have a link to where I can download an Ubuntu live CD (9.10 plz) ISO? torrents, regular downloads, whatever. I don’t need the graphics interface, I just want the OS running on my PC, but it must be able to install on a BLANK hard drive. all my drives running windows are busy, and can’t be reallocated

I have 250 Open Source Linux distributions I’ve collect in the past two years. I have never heard of them requiring the Windows NTLDR file to work. Linux will install to what ever drive you want it on and create a dual boot system. And yes some Linux versions are not a LiveCD but actually automatically install on a hard drive. You can get Ubuntu from their web site or request a copy to be mailed to you for free. Knoppix is a LiveCD and it does not even require a hard drive to be installed in the computer. The CDs I have of it doesn’t seem to have an installer.
