hard disk and I want to dual-boot. Topic is solved

[merkutinaa]

I need to partition my hard disk and I want to dual-boot. I don't want to nuke Windows XP. I can't access the Internet on Ubuntu so how to access the internet wireless on Ubuntu?

I think you can only start the installation with the Ubuntu CD and choose the "side by side" install.

It should be pretty straight forward.
You can also have a look here

Basically you simply reduce the size of the Windows partition so that you get a lot of unallocated space and on this space you install Linux.
You can reduce the partitions from within Windows as of the Vista version (not in XP). To reduce XP you can use gparted (it is probably on the Ubuntu livedisk).

Regarding wireless what is the output of

Code: Select all

nm-tool

?

Leaving this as solved since it might be of value to Linux newcomers.
