hi prajwal, i am also a ubuntu newbie. I didn't do my bit of initial research b4 installing it on my xp desktop.
A few warnings if you haven't already installed Ubuntu. Can't listen to mp3, watch videos and the like with when you install from the installation CD/DVD. You need to download separate files/codecs to do that from the system. and also you cannot connect to the internet, Ubuntu does not support PPoE re. If you are subscribed to the internet like i am (night surfing wlink or hons and the like you are in deep shit you will need a separate router to use the internet(that's the answer i got from ubuntu forums. so ubuntu for me is on permanent halt unless i buy me a router) my questions to the ppl at wlink who've hosted the ubuntu ISO's? Any chance of doing that (getting the mp3 codecs n other from http://opensource.wlink.com.np?? good luck Utsav On Mar 29, 12:36 am, "nepbabu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thus spoke Prajwal Adhikari on Friday, 28 March 2008 at 23:51:55 +0545: > > > Himanshu ji, > > > I have already downloaded ubantu cd image, but this wubi seeks internet to > > download actual installation files.
