In fact, the two systems are the same, Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, but the desktop is not the same, multimedia integration is more user-friendly, although Ubuntu is now launched for Chinese users Kylin version, but feel good cottage, a lot of details are messy, especially that calendar. The two are installed exactly the same way. Here are just a few things to note, Memo!
- Download the ISO installation package, pay attention to the CPU architecture, generally is now 64-bit system, so choose AMD64 Architecture (x86_64 is Amd64,intel to take the new name intel64,32 bit of architect i386 or i586).
- Download Universal-usb-installer, this is the artifact, all the mainstream Linux system disk production can be. After download run exe file directly, select your system type (Ubuntu or Linux mint), load your ISO image, select your USB stick, preferably tick the format of one item. Click Make.
- Restart your computer, you can choose to enter the system of the USB flash drive, which is the system is on your USB flash drive, you can use, or double-click on the Desktop Install Linux Mint system, the following steps please refer to the official note, note: Do not put the system on the C disk, must be careful.
Recommended partition: I take 100g for example: first sub-1G to mount point/boot, then the 2G to swap (swap space no mount point), in the remaining 50G to/directory, the last left to/home;
- Add a Win8 startup item to Linux. After installation, there is no entrance to the WIN8. In the terminal input sudo grub-update, you will see the system will automatically scan to sda1 (that is, the C drive, different computers may not be the same) there are startup items, exit, restart. You can see four startup items, and the fourth one is Win8.
LINUX Mint is really much more useful than Ubuntu.
Don't know if this method uses openSUSE?
win8.1 USB Drive installs Linux (Ubuntu or Linux Mint) dual system
