Sorry, I'm sorry. This article has been skipped for seven months... The Ubuntu blueprint also ranges from 8.04 to 8.04.1 to 8.10 and 8.04.2... Today, I finally made up my mind to write this article.

I have written several articles on Ubuntu that describe detailed technical steps to convey more ideas. However, if you do not know how to use this system, how can you understand this concept, so I will elaborate on how to install and configure Ubuntu.

I. Preparation

First download Ubuntu, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download, I downloaded a 32-bit desktop Live CD (4 GB memory to download 64-bit it, but some software may run a problem ..), It is better to get a few more image sites together, so it can be faster... Download with winMD5sum to calculate whether it is correct (MD5 value can be found here http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/), it is best to engraved a disc, if not engraved can also, is to toss up more trouble .. Of course, Wubi installation does not require a dial...

Ii. Installation

Here we will separate the two parts for independent installation and Wubi installation. Considering the gradual maturity and widespread use of Wubi installation, I decided to elaborate on Wubi installation.

1. Independent Installation

I mentioned in the log the last time that I installed the software independently, but there were some errors and the versions were different. So I should try again. Set the computer to the optical drive to start, insert the disc you just burned and select "simplified Chinese", and then "Try Ubuntu without changing any content in the computer ". Why not choose "Install Ubuntu", because the second option does not start GNOME Panel and cannot easily implement some functions (such as network connection and advanced partitioning), so select the first option. However, if the memory size is small (512 MB), it is better to select "Install .. After several minutes, if you hear the sound, your sound card has been recognized. However, if there is no sound, it may not be recognized by the sound card. In some cases, it will be muted by default, turn on the volume. Double-click the installation on the desktop, and proceed directly in the first few steps (note that the system language selects Chinese). When you arrive at the partition step, pay attention to it. Select manual partitioning and then edit the last partition, reduce the memory size by about 8 GB + physical memory (for example, if I have 2 GB memory, the last partition is reduced by 10 GB). (This step is highly risky, therefore, we recommend that you back up the data in the last partition. If the last partition is about 10 Gb, we recommend that you back up the data and directly Delete the last partition. In fact, you can choose not to select the last partition, but installing it on the primary partition will facilitate maintenance after Windows is reinstalled in the future. We recommend that you use it on the primary partition .) Then, create two primary partitions in the available space. The first partition is slightly smaller than the available space-physical memory (for example, enter a value similar to MB here) as the Ext3 partition, the mount point is/. The primary partition created in the remaining space should be slightly larger than the physical memory (for example, about 2200 MB) and used as the swap space (swap ). If Windows is just a play system, rather than a work system, or you only want to use Ubuntu, we recommend dividing/into a primary partition of about 5 GB, create a large (available space-physical memory-/partition) Ext3 Logical Disk as/home, and form an extended partition together with swap. After partitioning, create a user, confirm the computer name, and set the password. The password must be set. Otherwise, the root permission cannot be obtained after the user enters the system .. Is Automatic Login ready .. Then proceed to start installation. If the Language Pack is automatically downloaded during installation, we recommend that you disconnect the network and manually install the Language Pack after installation. In this way, you can select a faster server. After the installation is complete, restart and select Windows or Ubuntu.

2. Wubi Installation

Because independent installation requires modifying partitions and other risky operations, Ubuntu developers have developed a method to install Ubuntu as an application in Windows, so that more people can try Ubuntu. (8 GB is recommended. Because swap is automatically generated and generally does not exceed 1 GB, you can select 8 GB as the total size ), after the user name and password are set, the automatic installation is started and no interaction is required. After the first restart, the boot system menu has been correctly set, select Ubuntu to start the installation process, and automatically restart after the installation is complete. The installation process is very simple and designed for cainiao.
