[CoLoCo] Your Thoughts on Wubi

[David Overcash]

Just to clarify:
WUBI installs Ubuntu just like the LiveCD or Alternate CD would...  it
resizes an NTFS partition and writes all of the data to a new partition that
can be removed via the Add/Remove programs manager in windows.

The Buffalo wireless might be supported, just not immediately out of the
box...

Check out this page to see if you have the correct model number and follow
the instructions it gives:

Cheers,
David
