- Started Firefox at 6:40
- Clicked on Wubi
- Clicked on download now
- Started download at 6:52
- Ended download at 7:32
- Double click on wubi.exe (where ever you downloaded it to)
- You get a box with options. Select a size on your hard drive for the install. I had 26 GB free space. Wubi suggested 14 GB. I gave it 8 GB.
- Then enter a password and click install.
- My firewall (Comodo) asked for permission to continue. I granted it, but Wubi aborted.
- double clicked on wubi.exe again.
- And now wubi say's to uninstall click here. I uninstalled.
- Windows Security popped up. I chose unblock.
- Asked to reboot and I rebooted
- After rebooting, you have 2 choices. I chose Ubuntu
- At 7:38 I chose to let the computer sit. It's at a text screen that looks like DOS but isn't.
- It was locked up. I did a hardware reset(turned off the switch at the back of the computer) and restarted.
- Again I chose Ubuntu and it went further and I walked away. (sometimes the best thing)
- This a hoot! it's installing!
- The Ubuntu system restarted at the end of the installation.
- I was able to boot into the Ubuntu system no problem.
- After using Ubuntu, I rebooted and went right back to Windows XP
Details of little projects that I take on, usually of some technical nature and the trials and tribulations of trying to accomplish something doable. In addition, some of the inbetweens of life that come up and have to be done, need to be done or want to done while doing something else. In other words, I try to do a lot, but end up being, "Jim Do Little".

Wubi - Ubuntu Installer
I'm going to install Ubuntu on Box3(my third computer, expendable) using Wubi! Be right back.

I tried this, apparently the root password does not match the password you initially setup..
