Nytro Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 Installing Ubuntu 9.10Step-by-step installation tutorial with screenshotsBy Marius Nestor, Linux Editor6th of November 2009, 17:38 GMT Ubuntu 9.10, also known as the Karmic Koala, arrived exactly on October 29, 2009 and is the eleventh release of Ubuntu OS. We've created the following tutorial to teach Linux newcomers how to install the Ubuntu 9.10 operating system on their personal computer. Therefore, it is addressed to people who have just heard about Ubuntu, those who have never installed Ubuntu before and want to test it, but don't know how. The tutorial will make things very simple for you, but if you get stuck somewhere in the middle of the installation and you need help, do not hesitate to use our commenting system at the end of the article! Requirements: You will need the Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop ISO image that corresponds to your hardware architecture (i386 or amd64), and which can be downloaded from here. When the download is over, burn the ISO image with your favorite CD/DVD burning application (Nero, CDBurnerXP, Roxio) on a blank CD at 8x speed. Reinsert or leave the CD in your CD/DVD-ROM device and reboot the computer in order to boot from the CD. Hit the F8, F11 or F12 key (depending on your BIOS) to select the CD/DVD-ROM as the boot device. Select your language when asked... Select the second option "Install Ubuntu," and hit the "Enter" key... Wait for the CD to load into RAM... You will see the wallpaper for a few seconds. When the installer appears, you will be able to select your native language for the entire installation process. Click the "Forward" button to continue... Where are you? The second screen will feature a map of the Earth. Upon the selection of your current location, the time for the final system will adjust accordingly. You can also select your current location from the drop down list situated at the bottom of the window. Click the "Forward" button after you have selected your desired location... Test your keyboard On the third screen, you will be able to choose a desired keyboard layout. But the default automatic selection should work for most of you. Click the "Forward" button when you have finished with the keyboard configuration... Hard disk partitioning You have four options here: 1. If you have another operating system (e.g. Windows XP) and you want a dual boot system, select the first option: "Install them side by side, choosing between them at each startup." Editor's Note: This option will ONLY appear if you have another operating system installed, such as Microsoft Windows. Remember that, after the installation, the Windows boot loader will be overwritten by the Ubuntu boot loader! 2. If you want to delete your existing operating system, or the hard drive is already empty and you want to let the installer automatically partition the hard drive for you, select the second option, "Use the entire disk." Editor's Note: This option is recommended for most users who do not have another operating system installed or who want to erase an existing one, for example Windows OS. 3. The third choice is "Use the largest continuous free space" and it will install Ubuntu 9.10 in the unpartitioned space on the selected hard drive. 4. The fourth choice is "Specify partitions manually" and it is recommended ONLY for advanced users, to create special partitions or format the hard drive with other filesystems than the default one. But it can also be used to create a /home partition, which is very useful in case of reinstalling the whole system.Here's how you do a manual partitioning with /home: - Select the "Specify partitions manually (advanced) and click the "Forward" button;- Make sure that the selected hard drive is the right one. /dev/sda is the first physical hard drive. /dev/sdb is the second hard drive in your machine. So, make sure that you know which is the one you want to format! Otherwise, you will lose ALL YOUR DATA on that hard drive;- Let's say that the selected drive is empty (no other operating system or important data on it), but it has some partitions on it. Select each one of those partitions and click the "Delete" button. After a few seconds, it will say "free space". Do this with the other partitions from the selected hard drive, until they're all deleted and you have a single "free space" line;- With the "free space" line selected, click on the "Add" button. In the new window, type 2000 in the "New partition size in megabytes" field and select the "swap area" option from the "Use as:" drop down list. Click the OK button and, in a few seconds, you'll notice a "swap" line with the specified size;- With the "free space" line selected, click on the "Add" button. In the new window, select the "Primary" option, type a value between 10,000 and 50,000 in the "New partition size in megabytes" field and select / as the "Mount point". Click the OK button and in a few seconds, you'll notice an "ext4 /" line with the specified size;- With the "free space" line selected, click on the "Add" button. In the new window, select the "Primary" option, type a value between 30,000 and 50,000 (or whatever space you have left on the drive) in the "New partition size in megabytes" field and select /home as the "Mount point." Click the OK button and, in a few seconds, you'll notice an "ext4 /home" line with the specified size.This is how your partition table should look like. If so, click the "Forward" button to continue with the installation... WARNING: Be aware that all the data on the selected hard drive or partition will be ERASED and IRRECOVERABLE. Click the "Forward" button to continue with the installation... Who are you? On this screen, you must do exactly what the title says. Fill in the fields with your real name, the name you want to use to log in on your Ubuntu OS (also known as the "username," which will be required to log in to the system), the password and the name of the computer (automatically generated, but can be overwritten). Also at this step, there's an option called "Log in automatically." If you check the box on this option, you will automatically be logged in to the Ubuntu desktop. Click the "Forward" button to continue... Are you really ready for Ubuntu? This is the final step of the installation. Here, you can select to install the boot loader on another partition or hard drive than the default one, but it is only recommended for advanced users. If someone is installing to a USB memory stick, as if it was a USB hard drive, then they should know that the installer will mess with their computer's hard disk drive MBR (thanks to Donald for the info on this one!).Therefore, click the "Advanced" button and select the correct drive (the USB stick in this case)... Click the "Install" button to start the installation process... The Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) operating system will be installed... After approximately 10 to 18 minutes (depending on your computer's specs), a pop-up window will appear, notifying you that the installation is complete, and you'll need to restart the computer in order to use the newly installed Ubuntu operating system. Click the "Restart Now" button... The CD will be ejected; remove it and press the "Enter" key to reboot. The computer will be restarted and, in a few seconds, you will see the Ubuntu boot splash and Xsplash... At the login screen, click on your username and input your password. Click Log In or hit Enter... Have fun using Ubuntu 9.10! Quote

Nytro Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Posted November 24, 2009 Partitia in care instalezi trebuie sa fie ext2, ext2, ext4 sau altele suportate de Linux. Stergi partitia E si o creezi din nou ca ext4 de exemplu. Apoi instalezi pe E Linuxul. Sa instalezi si boot loader-ul. Quote
demon_zone Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 si cand aprind calcu imi da sa aleg care osx sa rulez?daca asa...imi pun si eu ubuntu pe Eyuhu Quote
Nytro Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Posted November 24, 2009 Da, te pune sa alegi. De exemplu LILO: Iar Windows-ul va aparea deasupra Linux-ului. Dar nu stiu ce boot loader are Ubuntu. Quote
demon_zone Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 wow"qul"acuma o problema:))sa ma uit cati giga am lasat liberi,ca poate nu am de o partitie E:\cat ocupa?ii mai trebe si programe..ceva...5 giga e bun?sper Quote
Nytro Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Posted November 24, 2009 Ajung 5 GB, teoretic, pentru Slackware de exemplu nu prea ajung pentru o instalare full, dar pentru Ubuntu ajung. Dar tot teoretic ar trebui sa iti faci si o partitie swap de dimensiunea dublul RAM-ului. Insa eu nu am, dar nici nu imi trebuie, am scos cam tot ce se putea scoate, nu prea am umblat la module, insa merge foarte bine. Quote
