![]() ![]() Once the installation completes just reboot your system and select Windows from the GRUB boot menu. You don’t want to install Linux on a existing Windows partition, do you? If you are interested you can read my Ubuntu Installation guide for more details. Just be very careful when you partition your system. I won’t post here details about the installation process of Ubuntu since this isn’t the subject of this unebootin guide. Ubuntu 8.10 is a LiveCD so just click the install icon to install it locally. Next click on the find /unetbtin/menu.lst option. ![]() When you reboot select UNetbootin from the list. UNetbootin will download files (if you have chosen the download ISO option), extract files from the ISO image, copy them to a temporary image, install a bootloader and prompt you to reboot your system. Of course if your motherboard supports booting from USB drives and you own a large enough USB drive select this one in the Type drop down box. Apart from the Distribution and Diskimage options you can do a custom installation using a specific kernel and initrd as well as custom kernel options but I believe this will confuse most people and since it isn’t a common situation I won’t refer at all to this option.Īs I’ve said before I will not use the automatic download but the Ubuntu 8.10 LiveCD ISO (1) I have in my disk. Various versions of each distro are supported. You can see the list of available distributions that UNetbootin can download for you. So download the latest stable version of UNetbootin and let’s get started. The procedure is the same to install any distribution through Windows and Linux. Therefore, you can use it to install Linux from another Linux! In this tutorial I have installed Ubuntu Iterpid Ibex 8.10, for which I had previously downloaded an ISO image, through a Windows XP system. Apart from a Windows 2000/XP/Vista version it has Linux versions also with precompiled packages for Ubuntu, Debian, openSuse and Gentoo. It can both load distributions by automatically downloading the ISO images or by using existing ISO files. UNetbootin is a tool that allows you to either create bootable Live USB driers for a variety of Linux distributions such as (Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, openSUSE etc.) or make a “frugal install” directly on your local hard disk drive if you don’t have a USB drive. I will use a freeware application called UNetbootin. So, in this guide I will describe you how to install a Linux distribution from a Windows system so that you don’t have to burn a CD. So he asked me for a way to install Linux through his Windows system. He downloaded a Fedora ISO but he didn’t have a blank CD to burn it. A few days ago a friend of mine was ready to enter the Linux world (sic!). ![]()
