Downloading Ubuntu 7.10 To EHD New User.

2008-02-09 Thread Tatian
Hi, I am ordering Ubuntu 7.10 and will download it in my free time to
my EHD. I need some advice or links, or files to explain how it is
done. I am not sure if I want to partition my EHD or have it only for
Ubuntu.

Do I need a partition utility?

Afterwards I will want to get software such as Gnome Sword and others.

So I want to get the graphics right, partitions too, learn how to
start up from my EHD, through F2, or F8... and learn how to download
or buy CDs and where from... both sites for downloads and contacts for
CDs.

I'll need set up my broadband modem with Ubuntu, my printer/copier/
scanner, mobile phone... will this need Wine?

Also I am unfamiliar with Ubuntu and the net, explorers and
alternative to windows operating of programs.

Greetings Tatian,

A couple of questions?
- Is EHD - External hard drive?
- Can you boot from this harddrive? (This would be a BIOS setting.
Most modern computers can.)
- What sort of computer do you have?

If you have ordered the 32bit 7.10 CDRom you can boot from the CD
itself, and have a play without actually installing anything directly.
This is called a 'liveCD'.

- Whare do you live? Are you in Australia? (ubuntu-au is the
Australian Ubuntu Team)
  It might be able to get some to help you who's closer to where you
live, or point you to a local Linux User Group (LUG).

Cheers,
Paul
