[scuzznightrunner]

hey webnut yesterday i installed ubuntu mint like this one but everytime i try to move or quit a window there is no option like on windows xp what do i have to do to get it working props thanks

[Thescarce]

which release is it? i have helena release but it doesn't include all these themes and wallpapers!

[webnull]

@Thescarce

Its Linux Mint 7

[74ryanwolf]

@Thescarce You have helena. he has gloria. But i think if you had the DVD it should have included the background

[konoplevd]

when you get the the 'Ready to Install' section, when you click on Advanced... on my computer it says 'Device for boot loader installation:' in your tutorial it says '/dev/sda'. Should I change this to '(hd0)' as you have at 6:20 in the video. Thanks a lot dude, you rock!!!

i bought a Laptop which has Linux Fedora 10 and everytime i want to do something it asks me for the ROOT. what is Root? everytime i type something it shows up again and again ROOT? how can i make a Root Password?

[webnull]

Root is privigled user ( ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT ), you must know whats your administrator password to example. install software, remove software, change configuration...

If you dont know your ROOT password, i can recover it for you for free ( give instructions on INSTANT MESSAGER ).

[chilisator]

Nice thank you! I have a question though: Is it possible to install it on an external hard drive?

[webnull]

Ofcourse it is possible.

[cunijoeme]

[MissAlida]

I wonder whether you could help me too. I had to stop the installing process at the part of Prepare Disk Space. I want to single boot mint.

This is what I got from the partiton editor: Part.-Filesys-Label-Size-Used-­Unused-Flags

/dev/sda1-ntfs-ibm_preload-33.­04 GiB-5.62 GiB-27.42 GiB-boot

/dev/sda2-fat32-0-4.22 GiB-3.67 GiB-571.50 MiB-0

I would be grateful for any help in the right direction. This is my first OS install ever.

[webnull]

[Mossi1992]

Virtual dual boot?

[webnull]

Its just a "how to" install Debian/Ubuntu based distribution.

I used Virtualbox-OSE to record this video.

If you want, you can make dualboot in your virtual machine.
