Which is right for me?


Recommended Posts

ok, you should of downloaded 1 file, and it has a ".ISO" extension. When your winRAR Icon replaces the normal Icon for the file, it will show you the ".iso" extension on the icon.

Your suppose to "Burn IMAGE to Disc" or something of that sort using Nero and select the ISO File. IN alcohol its Image Burning Wizard, And then select the ISO file and burn.

If you dnt understand that,

Then take a screenshot of what you downloaded. So if its downloaded onto your desktop, screenshot your desktop.

Cheers.

Arrrrgh!

Don't open it with that!

You see the .iso filename at the top. *THAT* is the file you need to burn to your CD as an image.

Close WinRAR. When it comes to Linux .iso images, think of that as a pure evil app! ;) I have seen many people burn those files from WinRAR then wonder why the CD doesn't boot.

.ISO file on top where!? You're confusing me! lol

On the winrar titlebar, ubuntudesktop64blahblah.iso

Don't open the .iso file. Get a burner like imgburn, open the .iso with imgburn and let it burn.

Thanks :)

And I feel so nooby, usually I'm way smarter than this :p

So how do I find that in Alcohol 120% to burn though. It's not actually saved anywhere. It's just in uTorrent.

Oh, it exists somewhere. I just don't know where uTorrent saves things.

I believe utorrent automatically puts all files in my documents\downloads, if not, go to utorrent, right click on the torrent and click, in the context menu, show in explorer.

I think I might have found it. I'll get back to you after I try to install ;)

no offense but if your having alot of problems just trying to figure out how to burn an iso then linux may not be for you. alot of things have to be done and installed via a command prompt.

Meh. He's got a pretty good group of people here at Neowin that will chip in an help him out (and only one or two who offer discouragement). Even if he decides Linux isn't for him right now, we will help him remove it and get his computer set back up for Windows only boot. (Y)

Thanks mark for helping me :)

I just got Ubuntu installed and all the updates taken care of. As of now, I'm already planning on ditching Windows altogether :p

@smooth: I was just having a major brain fart. lol

Ok... instead of making a new post, what is WINE?

Wine is sort of an "inline translation" for a Windows exe. It runs regular math straight through, and just jumps in to translate a Windows-specific instruction into one that runs in Linux.

How do I use WINE? I want to still run Photoshop if at all possible...

wine notepad.exe

at a terminal

Or usually double-clicking an exe will initiate it through wine, if you have it set up that way.
