Hi :)

Do you have an Ubuntu Cd or do you have a way of booting into Ubuntu?

Hi :)

Are you having problems making an Ubuntu Cd? or are you tring to get to use linux to do something you can't do in Windows? If you're having trouble making an Ubuntu cd then
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
can be a great help but if you are trying to use Ubuntu to make cd/dvds then this might help ...

So here goes!!
Perhaps try downloading Ubuntu from
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
then make a cd of it by double-clicking on the iso file, this guide might help
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
i tend to find the cheapest "write once" cds that you can only get in blocks of 10 or more are better for this than more expensive cds and dvds tend to be really rubbish for this. Anyway once you have the cd then boot up from it to the menu with "Try Ubuntu without changes to this machine", if you don't get that menu then this guide might help
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD
Choosing the "Try Ubuntu ... " option should get you to a working desktop which we call a "LiveCd session", if it works ;) Most versions of linux have this feature although they don't all have such a fancy menu. Ubuntu's LiveCd has firefox on the top taskbar and should have worked out your internet connection so having got a LiveCd session working you should be able to surf around and check that Ubuntu is going to work easily on the machine. Once you've done that then a dual-boot is better than wiping off an existing working OS, even if that is Windows ;)
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot

If you don't want to install Ubuntu to do this then i think either Wolvix Hunter 1.1.0 or sliTaz or perhaps Puppy might be better because a LiveCd session can load any of those entirely inside Ram which frees up a cd/dvd-drive

http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=wolvix
I think both of these use GnomeBaker rather than Brasero which might be an advantage, although i prefer Brasero anyway.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hi :)

In Firefox go up to the top menus and click on

Tools - Add-ons - Get Add-ons

and use the search tool to find and install "DownloadHelper" this should help you convert flvs to avis or something
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Can you help with this problem?
