Hard drive ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso installation experience

When I first started using Ubuntu, I usedWubi InstallationAlthough it is convenient and quick, it makes people feel that it is not an authentic gun/Linux system, because after such installation, its file system is essentially a Windows file system, it's just a virtualized Linux file system, so we can imagine that after the system runs, its efficiency is certainly not running fast on a real Linux system. Therefore, we decided to separate a hard disk to install ubuntu.
First, download it from the official website.Ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.isoThe image file can be installed on a dial, but this is a little troublesome, so I choose to useGrub4dosDirectInstall ISO on Hard Disk. The following are my specific steps:

(1) modify the menu. LST fileIn the menu. LST file of the C-drive root directory, add:

Title install ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386
Root (hd0, 0)
Kernel/vmlinuz boot = Casper iso-Scan/filename =/ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso Ro quiet splash locale = zh_CN.UTF-8
Initrd (hd0, 0)/initrd.gz
Boot

Note:
1, (hd0, 0) according to your own situation, my installation is like this
2. # represents the comment in the menu. LST file.
3. Set timeout to a long time, that is, the time you choose. The time is up to the option specified by default.

(2)Modify the boot. ini file, Add the following at the end of the boot. ini file in the C root directory:

C:/grldr = "Install Ubuntu 9.04 desktop"

(3)Download two files from the official website:

Initrd.gz and vmlinuz, Put them in the C root directory

(4)Download grub4dos, From which onlyExtract grldr files, Also put it in the C root directory

(5)Put the downloaded ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso in the C root directory

After the preparation, and then restart the computer, will enter the selection interface, select install ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386 to install the system.During the installation process, the primary note is that there must be at least two partitions, namely/root partition and swap partition.(If not, the wizard will prompt you an error, which is very user-friendly !), Depends on the size of your hard disk.The general requirement is:/partition at least 5 GB, swap partition size is twice the host RAM memory. After the installation is complete, you can enter the new system.
