Using Ubuntu Linux/Installing

If you want to install Ubuntu into your hard disk, you may use the following methods:

Install using a live CD (recommended)
The live CD installer works by cloning the working Ubuntu system into the hard disk.
 * 1) Insert the live CD into the computer's CD drive, then restart the computer from CD.
 * 2) Select Install.
 * 3) After the installer appears on the screen, follow the instructions.

Install using an alternate CD
The alternate CD uses the Debian text-based installer, and install the packages one-by-one. It offers features like RAID/LVM, and install a system without GUI. The final system is near-identical to the system installed from the live CD.
 * 1) Insert the alternate CD into the computer's CD drive, then restart the computer from CD.
 * 2) Select Install Ubuntu.
 * 3) After the text-based installer appears on the screen, follow the instructions.

Install using Wubi
This type of installation works by creating a disk image in an existing Windows partition, loop-mount it and install to it. It doesn't involve any partitioning.
 * 1) Go to the web, download the Wubi installer and run it.
 * 2) Follow the instructions. (Wubi will download the Ubuntu CD image for you automatically.)
 * 3) After rebooting the system, select Ubuntu in the boot menu and let it finish the installation.
