Hi Folks,
I'm pursuing an interest in Linux and have downloaded a .iso file from
ubuntu hardy, and have made a CD from it. Windows does not recognize that
there is anything on the CD, so I am not sure that making the CD was
successful.
First, burn the iso to disk. Check the size and used space on the disk
with windows.
Then set your bios to boot from cd first, then reboot with the cd in the
drive and it will boot... :-)
Also note: it is a fully functional version of linux, however, if you save
things or install things they will be lost on a reboot.
So you can still play and test everything out.
Especially if you have a usb thumb drive, or you could even mount your
windows hard drive...
So its possible to test out firefox 3... (is that on the disk already?)
Actually, when I say "windows hard drive" I should probably say "windows
partition".
Cheers,
