- 10GB ok but depend, u want to add many application or not later on. Min 4-5GB i think..
- For beginner, root & swap enough edi unless u want to hav another part for back-up / share purposes..

Normally just need the root and swap. I only set aside 5gb for my root and 1gb for swap, since the rest I have on the shared FAT32 partition

I got version 6 Unbuntu for PC (LTS)

How to boot?

Insert Your Ubuntu CD
Press "F1" / "Del" button during 1st boot.
Set your bios 1st boot "cdrom"
Then press "F10" save & exit.

Just let the PC boot from CD.

eyh guys, besides VMware, is there any OS emulation software that can run on my ubuntu 6.10?

wanted to install it on my family PC, but my small bro n sis wanna play those Yahoo games..iianm it need windows to run right?since the file is .exe, not .run or .deb etc etc....

been scouting on cedega, but it is said that u can install games on cedega only when u have the CD/DVD, i mean direct install using installshield..

qemu, bochs

with qemu you can download the qemu accelerator kernel module, which is unfortunately proprietary. but it can be faster.

proprietary in what means? $$$ or just copyrighted like .mp3?

edit: it's copyrighted....but will it have 3d acceleration?VMware doesnt have it.

You need at least 2 partitions.
One is "/" and another is "swap"

About dual boot, hmm, have you got the partition for Ubuntu ready?

what partition format should i use? NTFS?

--edit--

ok, i done install it. how do i install drivers? especially graphic driver.

anyone can help me?

i've installed ubuntu on my fren's lappie, but the prob is his internal soundcard damaged by lightning so he is using a USB soundcard. it detects well in windows.

how can i make the USB soundcard running in ubuntu?it's a C-Media, i've checked at "sound", ubuntu detected it, but why still dont have sound for login and logout?

What graphic card are you using?

How about other sounds? Try playing mp3 and see. Any sound come out?

nope, none come out.when i cick test on "sound" properties there, got "tuuuuuuuuttttt" sound only


but ubuntu detected my usb soundcard.wierd

i'm using Nvidia Geforce 6150. i installed on my lappie.

Added on February 6, 2007, 10:32 amDo you have the exact model number? Cmedia? What chipset though?

This post has been edited by kons: Feb 6 2007, 10:32 AM

C-media model no PD552

I mean, what does Ubuntu detect it as?
What module did it use? (lsmod)
And what is the chipset detected (lspci)
Please let us know
