Install on a "blank desktop" should be the same as any other Fedora install, except that you won't have to perform any steps to create space on the disk for the install. Download the install media, write to USB flash drive (or burn to DVD-R, etc), then boot the desktop off of the install media and follow the instructions. You will have to decide which install media to use - i.e. you can download and use one of the "live" spins, and then install from that, or if you want more control you can download the "server" install meda, which despite the name, can be used to install a desktop (it is how I do it). If you choose to go the "server" route, I usually recommend the "netinstall" version as it is smaller and will download the desired packages "on the fly" - but as you are using dial-up, you might be better off just downloading the full install DVD (especially if you can download it some other way besides dial-up). I can't help with the dual-boot, but if it is a reasonably modern CPU with hardware virtualization it might be easier to run Ubuntu (or any other OS) in a virtual machine and avoid dual-boot altogether. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
