ubuntu linux..help!?

Posted on March 15, 2011 by admin| 6 Comments

Well i got the iso for ubuntu and burned it to a disk. Now im running the live boot cd thing to see if you like it. But i have some questions
1. Will this run yahoo messenger
2.Will this run most microsoft programs??
3.How do i connect to wireless internets. Its simple on xp
4.I want to have a dual boot between xp and ubuntu. when i hit installi have 3 options: either erase entire disk but that would kill xp…or i can use the largest continous free space or i can manually edit partion table

Partion looks hard
would the free space option work.

When i click that it say
GRUB ill be installed to hdo

no partion table changes and creation of file systems have been planned. if you plan on using already created file system, be aware that exisitng files may prevent the succesfull instalation of the base system

Thanks
UPDATE: step by step on installing for dual boot please

Posted on March 12, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I have this cd and i want to run the live version of it and it just won’t work it first of all says that I don’t have the correct software–pick from a list or go on the net to find out what software is needed so i pressed net and it wouldn’t open. Then also the live thing is a zipped file I don’t know what I’m supposed to do I open it with winzip and it brings up a window to extract it but it’s not like the normal windows I tried to extract it on my flashdrive which is 512 and it says insert disk 2 so i stopped it so I don’t know what to do does anyone have any suggestions?
