QUOTE(slepth @ Oct 31 2008, 01:24 AM) For me, I usually download the torrent for the alternate CD (around 700mb). http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#btI tried using the system update once but big files and streamyx doesnt mix well  why waste your current good install? I went from Gutsy to Ibex without any issue. use alternate mirror - MMU or OSCC to download the packages |

QUOTE(fastcx @ Oct 29 2008, 02:02 PM) ok, i make it more english acceptable... step 1, press n hold alt+print screen, keep holding these 2 till u completed below steps step 2, R step 3, E step 4, I step 5, S step 6, U step 7, B step 8, DONE! above steps dont need any linux knowledge nor and I.T. knowledge, just need to know ENGLISH...as i said "press n hold alt+print screen, follow by R + E + I + S + U + B(press them each individually to kill process n unmount disk, n reboot safely) "
Added on October 29, 2008, 2:03 pmjust incase my "DONE" not clear, it means u can reboot manually or wait for it, or just press ctrl+alt+del now this step wont work at my other pc. it will go to blank screen with just a dot blinking at the leftside upper conner even the numlock light will freeze. sigh. |

and the hard disk is virtual hard disk. it is inside windows. more or less like vmware or any virtualisation software.

if the livecd runs on that same amount of diskspace it should run when installed permanently.

Comfort level.. Depends on what you're gonna do with Ubuntu/Mint lo. If you are like me, who store all my files in my /home folder instead of C:, then allocate more space for linux. ext3 is a journal filesystem, much like NTFS. swap is more like "Page File" in WIndows. You cannot store your files inside swap. It is for ths OS to swap to disk when main memory (RAM) is not enough. |
