Dear Maccers, I am trying to install ubuntu but this is the kinda thing that has me STUMPED! I can't figure it out and have never been able to although I have only tried something similar once or twice. How much in the way of IQ do you need to deal with installing something like ubuntu? That or can anyone tell me what I do need to install to run linux on my 1 tb additional drive? It does nto show up in bootcamp by the way and I got a little clue it should.

Re: installing linux.
although this may not be for everyone I got Ubuntu to mail me their "live" disc and then I just run Ubuntu/Linux from the CD rather then take up hard drive space and the installation hassle.

GH, What type of Mac do you have? What version of Ubuntu are you installing? How far have you gotten in the installation before hitting the brick wall? Are there other files on the additional drive? Ubuntu is a fairly easy Linux operating system. From what my friends (who are more Linux-enthusiasts than I am) tell me, you might want to try installing Mint, though. It's much easier on the end-user. Isaac -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: installing linux.
I'm not sure about macs, but when I've installed ubuntu on pcs you put the ubuuntu cd in the drive, boot off the cd drive. Once it boots you should have an install icon on the desktop. Double click that and follow the instructions. imho ubuntu and os x are similar in terms of looks and ease of use.
