Hello All, My friend has burnt ubuntu 11.04 live DVD and can try it out. I suggested that it might be wise to wait to install it till after coming to the CLUG meeting as a tier one member to get some help.
There are several choices with the live boot, try it out without installing it, install it instead of the current operating system, or install it in addition to the current operating system. Is Ubuntu 11.04 sufficiently advanced to guide a new user like my friend through a dual boot installation of Ubuntu with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04 operating systems? Or should he check with someone who knows something about dual boots before he actually installs it? I have suggested that he come to the next CLUG meeting as a tier one member as he has very little money. Then perhaps one of you could help him install a dual boot safely. He has already burnt the Ubuntu 11.04 live DVD. He used the DVD because he did not have a blank CD ready, but I see no problem with that. I suggested that he try out Ubuntu first before committing himself, and then coming to the meeting to get help with a safe installation. It sounds like the default choices for installing a dual boot might work, but I wanted to check with dual boot experts first.
