Re: [orca-list] Installing Ubuntu 8.04 From Inside Windows

["Earle" <rowdyamerican gmail com>]

I left it for almost 2 hours, and the computer never restarted.  I thought there might be a problem with the 
cd, but I'm 
able to install by booting from cd and installing Ubuntu, and everything works as it should.  The problem is, 
my friend 
wants it installed from inside windows for some reason.  I explained to him, that if he lets me install from 
cd, he can 
still boot into windows, but for some reason, he's very insistant that it be done through windows.  Does 
anyone have any 
other ideas I can try?  Could it be a faulty cd, even though I can boot from it, and install from cd?  I'm 
just running 
out of things to try.  Should the computer restart automatically, or is there some prompt that comes up?  
When I restart 
like I'm told to, Orca says checking the installation, and if I come back in a couple of hours, there is no 
speech, and 
I manually have to shut the computer down.  Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Earle

Leave the install alone when it says checking the installation.  Wubi is
verifying that everything is installed correctly.  The system will restart
it self after awhile and then you can log in.  It takes about half an hour
to complete.
