DSL is bayantel. > What do we need to do to get our internet working under ubuntu. I'm not familiar with Bayantel. But have you checked your settings? Does your router/modem provide you with a dynamic ip address? or do you have to manually set it up? I suggest you check your XP network settings. Also try reading the networking manual available at the wiki[1] > By the way, my daughter had previously been able to run ver9.04 under > VMWare in her netbook and had no problems using it, including the > internet.

You can use Ubuntu's USB Startup Disk Creator (System > Administration > USB Startup Disk Creator) or UNetbootin[2] (I've been using this personally). There's also a good tutorial available online[3]. A word of caution though, you'll have to manually partition the netbook so make sure you have the original install and drivers cd (if you want to dual-boot Windows and Ubuntu) and don't forget to backup your files. > We also came across a video on doing a dual boot installation of a much > earlier version of ubuntu wherein the guy was able to access the net > using the live cd option of trying out ubuntu without changing anything > in his current system.
