Re: [Ubuntu-BD] Ubuntu 8.10 DVD Problem
as far I understand, wubi lets you boot up Ubuntu using the Windows boot loader. It creates a virtual disk and boots to that disk, everything gets installed there. No Its not Virtual machine. So there should not be any noticable performance loss. but if the disk image gets corrupted you lose the installation. its a good way to tryout Ubuntu, I guess.

Re: [Ubuntu-BD] Ubuntu 8.10 DVD Problem
Little googling gave me this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How%20do%20I%20access%20the%20Windows%20drives? (hint: cd/dvds are removable drives) I have no idea about wubi. Does it install ubuntu as standalone OS or is it virtual machine-like environment? Virtual machine softwares may have issues with these drivers. In that case i would recommend you to use vmware or virtualbox.

Usually you wont have to install driver. you use this command in shell: *sudo wvdialconf* then edit the resulting configuratioin file using *sudo nano /etc/wvdial.conf* for the necessary settings to enable there.

[Ubuntu-BD] Ubuntu 8.10 DVD Problem
Hello All, I am Masnun from Khulna. I ordered ubuntu 8.10 on ship it and got my CD a few days back. I tried to install Ubuntu as a dual boot along with my Vista Black edition. It installed but the Grub doesn't work, so my Vista loads automatically without giving me the chance to make a switch.. So I installed Ubuntu inside Windows (Wubi). Everything's fine. I am not complaining that I couldn't install Ubuntu as a standalone OS. The current issue is with my BenQ Sata DVD ReWriter. Ubuntu seems to be unable to handle it. Vendor: Benq Model: DW205S MAX Speed: 20X When I insert a CD into the drive and click on the CD/DVD icon inside my Ubuntu, I get an error message saying something like "Can not mount. There is no media". I have tried several times. No results. I am a bit open source enthusiast and don't wanna leave Ubuntu.
