| Benj1 | whats the way that i can clone a window and all that kinda stuff |
| dieh | sure, i dont have a cd at the moment, i can download it from the website and burn it |
| bradf0rdX | I don't want to... this thing's packed full of wires and shit.... owell, off i go |
| dieh | what do i do after that |
| jarrett | dieh: yes, the cd should have all the tools you need to partition |
| sambaa | what is major technical changes in suse and ubnutu |
| rohan | hi .. anyone received the shipit feisty cd's yet ? |
| LinuxHelp | dieh, reboot with the cd in your cdrom drive |
| dieh | oh ok , would i have to install windows after i partition. i dont have the windows cd anymore |
| ajax4 | dieh: Just boot your computer from that CD, after it boots double click the "install" icon...then follow the instructions. The biggest part is how to partition the drives. Does your windows disc have free space on it? |
| Shrimpy_ | rohan: are you a loco team? or did you request a shipment |
| dieh | yeah, i have about 32gigs free |
| jarrett | dieh: no, you can dual boot without reinstalling |
| macogw | partitioning is step 4 |
| dieh | cool thanks |
| LinuxHelp | dieh, you *might* have to reinstall windows, but hopefully not |
| dieh | i will download it tomorrow and put it on a dc cd |
| ajax4 | dieh: Perfect. The Ubuntu installer will automatically resize your windows partition to make room for the Linux partition. |
| dieh | i download from here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download right? |
| macogw | i think it's easiest to partition THEN install both dieh: better to tell them torrent the servers are still being pounded and really slow torrents are much faster |
| robert_ | bah |
| dieh | i have no idea what is a torrent |
| robert_ | nobody seems to be paying much attention to me |
| rohan | Shrimpy_: request a shipment |
| LinuxHelp | dieh, then go with the link you posted |
| macogw | dieh: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent |
| dieh | cool thanks |
| macogw | it's a P2P thing you need something like bittorrent |
| Shrimpy_ | rohan: yeah, they take a while. just torrent it if you have a fast connection. |
| dieh | oh ok |
| Dell-Net | utorrent |
| macogw | but it will download faster than the server will or azureus |
| Shrimpy_ | rohan: i think they take overr four weeks or something |
| macogw | Shrimpy_: shipits? 6 weeks |
