Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Wubi on 12.04

2011-12-22 Thread Lance 
I subscribed to that bug and added an offer to provide testing.

While Wubi is not as stable as an actual installation it can be quite useful, 
particularly since many Win 7 OEM's now use 4 primary partitions.

IMHO it's definitely worth pursuing.

hi Jean-Pierre,
I have had a dig around and raised a 
bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/907524 If someone could pop on there 
and click on the "affects me" button, that will auto confirm it.

Regards,

Wubi is a GREAT option for a lot of people (myself included since i have only 
one hard drive and original windows is installed on it ;)

Is this possible?

Hi Jeremy,

whilst not the biggest fan of Wubi either, it is a useful tool for a
certain group of people. It certainly gives a better taste of Lubuntu than
trying to run it of a LiveCD. As such, Wubi is an important option for
people to try the ubuntu flavours out on a windows machine. The Wubi people
do a good job of keeping it stable.

regards.

Phill.

I'm the same way. Personally, I'd prefer if Wubi wasn't available for
the main Ubuntu CD as I don't trust it to work as reliably as a normal
install or even a VM.

Hello Jean-Pierre,

I'm one of those who actually avoid Wubi. It could be helpful but the
headache afterward is a lot sometimes :)

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1650699

IMHO, one can always try another alternative but that's me and YMMV :)

Hi Jean,

it was my understanding that Lubuntu would be added to Wubi following its
full adoption in 11.10. I'll go and do a bit of digging

Regards,

Phill.
