Has anyone tried this. This might be away to put Kubuntu on my laptop without affecting the windows install which I can't touch. I think I'll try it on my windows partition since I doesn't get used for anything else.

Re: wubi? "easy ubuntu installer?" with out a cd

i tried this twice didn't work at all... my windows was still safe and so was my kubuntu (installing xubuntu)
1st it was complete blank and 2nd time it screwed up my grub ;(
this does work for somepeople and this is still beta... this program may have a future in linux. i suggest for a sure fire way to install it properly without screwing up your computer like mine is to just install it your self.

if u have the 1st scenario
go to windows and click on wubi you dled and do uninstall
2nd ummm im trying to write over the part where xubuntu was trying to be install hopefully this will work wish me luck peace 8'(
