Install Linux Mint 7 from virtual box?

Posted on July 15, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I recently downloaded an .iso file of the new Mint 7 Gloria so that I could try it out. I was able to mount the file onto a virtual drive, so that I didn’t need to make a Live CD. Then I was able to play Mint 7 by using Sun xVM Virtual Box, and it was able to run fairly well.

Because of this, I want to run a dual boot of Mint 7 and Wondows Vista . But the question is: Can I install Mint onto my computer by using the methods stated earlier? Answers would be appreciated.
I’m guessing Wubi works with Mint since it’s based off of Ubuntu; right?

How To Install Puppy Linux To Hard Drive?

Posted on July 10, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

Hi everyone. I have a C drive which I partitioned in Windows to show up as two hard drives. It shows up as C and F. I am using the Puppy Live cd right now and how can I install Puppy to the hard drive so that when I want to use Puppy I don’t have to use the cd? I have tried installing to the hard drive but the boot loader never loads when installed. I don’t even know if I installed a boot loader and I don’t know how. Please help me.

I have Windows 2000 but it cannot start up. I tried a Live USB of Ubuntu but nothing happens when I plug it in. How can I install a Linux distribution on it? It has a floppy drive.

Install Fedora Linux?

Posted on June 29, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I have an old PC that got eaten alive by viruses and EVERYTHING, except core system files are gone or corrupted by a virus and I dont feel like fixing it. I’m thinking about wiping my hard drive completely and setting up Fedora on it to use as a workstation. Will I be able to install from a Live-CD with no operating system already on it? How? it currently has WinXP Service pack 3.
