how much drive space sud I allot to installer? Can it be increased later?

Are you asking how much disk space is required to install Ubuntu ?

yes... optimum disc space for ubuntu and other related applications to be installed later... cuz this wubi is asking to choose disk space to allot for it...

Ubuntu minimum Disk space needed is 5GB. And recommended Disk space is 8GB.
Xubuntu minimum Disk space needed is 1.5GB. And recommended Disk space is 8GB.

BTW. You can also use a downloaded ISO with Wubi. Just place the ISO file in the same folder as Wubi. You need the latest version of Ubuntu and Wubi for this to work. :yes:

I didint see any options to increase space after installation so I guess its better to give it a bit more space, I gave it 100GB coz I had a lot of space lying doing nothing.

I think he was talking about this.



Any value between 10GB and 30GB is fine I think.

I mean once you have done that and allocated space for Ubuntu is there any way to increase or decrease the allocated space later on?

But I'm always low on disc space cuz of downloads.. so, I guess I'll give it around the recommended size of Vishnu... Maybe 10 GB...

@Vishnu

Thanx for the information bout the iso man... I presume, I've the latest version... Gonna try it..

I got the info from this website. Wubi - Ubuntu Installer for Windows. Please refer this website before making any decision.
I am downloading Ubuntu 8.04.1 Desktop. 64AMD(official torrent) right now. I have a 25GB empty drive to install it.

Thanx again mate... The link was really helpful... considering that there r 20,000 applications waiting in line for free... I think I should allot 20 GB atleast...

Which processor do u've?

My processor is AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+. :001_rolleyes:
What is yours ?

Mine is Intel core2duo... I've downloaded iso of X86 architecture... cuz my processor is x86...supports both 32 & 64 bit...

Did you installed Ubuntu. How is it ?

Naah...will do it in 5 min... was watching a movie...

Meet here after installing Ubuntu. It will take me 6-7 hours to complete my Ubuntu download.

You mean like this.
