Please don't top post, readers will have to look down to the end of

What happens when you tell it to boot off the CD?

Nor will the online self-installer work. This is apparently
the case with all Windows 8 users who try to do it. They have to do
a lot of
manual work to make it possible, with partitions. Since this has
become a
standard issue, there should be a step by step procedure for it in the
official or semi-official Ubuntu documentation by now, but I can't
find any
such thing. All I found was various descriptions on random chat
lists here
and there.
Apologies again for having called it Windows 9. It really is Windows
8. I am
still wrestling with it, actually, having acquired this machine only
yesterday. I wasn't aware of how Windows have made it difficult to
install
anything else.

Hello again,
Can anybody recommend a reliable set of online instructions for
installing
Ubuntu on a machine with Windows 9? Neither the online installer
nor the
live CD will work. I found some instructions for doing it on
Windows 8,
somewhere on line, and they were pretty complex, involving manually
creating
partitions and start points. But I shall do it if I am sure it is
reliable.
Windows 9 being the latest Windows build, they've made it even harder
than
before, but it must be doable.
What is the problem that you have? Will it boot off the live CD?
Colin

Sorry, I'd forgotten. Won't do it again.
And I find bottom posting extremely annoying. It means each post is
slightly more long winded to reply to than the last. So I just follow
the example of the previous poster.
