   !wubi has an over 50% spam population :(

   Uncertain.. if an !Ubuntu (via !Wubi) 64bit installation works fine, can I safely assume my processor is 64bit capable?

     @mcastel It should, if you want to really be sure check is the processor has the "lm" flag in /proc/cpuinfo

   !wubi installer of !ubuntu takes files from ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd.64.iso.torrent, but I'm on Intel at 32 bit... is normal?

     @darael it's an Intel Pentium 4 at 3 Ghz. At any rate, it seems that installation is going fine...

     @bugabundo thanks, I'll see what happen now since installation is almost complete. In case of oddities I'll follow your path ;)

   is it possible to install !wubi with only the standard !Ubuntu 9.10 live CD ? Oddly enought, I can't find a way... :(

     @mcastel Is it works? That tip was for 8.04, but may apply to above.

     @azzorcist well now I am not at my win pc, I should wait till this evening. If I recall, I tried with 9.10 unsuccessfully. I'll double check

   has anybody tried !wubi with Win7 bitlocker? Vista gives TPM a drive, but not 7. I think I have a problem on my hands for our deployment

   need to try rotation in 9.04 X but contemplating whether to do it in !wubi or dual boot. leaning toward dual boot if Win7 will allow repart

    is there a way to do distributed !wubi upgrades? I'm assuming not...

    I really do not understand internationalization. these .po files are mostly in English despite looking like they should be language files

      @daw what dont you understand about the .po files? (Im tired of looking at them so much) lol

      @danilo I think I figured out the .po file, but now I just need to figure out what file has that so I can make the appropriate entry !wubi

    is there an if-else clause in batch scripting? need to get !wubi working for x64 and Dutch and current constructs don't

    two of our 5 laptop models work; one was test XP, one Vista. I think I'm going to call it good !wubi

    switching from !wubi 8.10 to 9.04. scary times!

15. Douglas A. Whitfield Windows Ubuntu Installer

    !wubi so far working in Win7...the vanilla 9.04 version, not the scripted version we've got. 8.10 doesn't work

16. Douglas A. Whitfield Windows Ubuntu Installer

    ugh. !wubi apparently works now on Vista but not XP. I really wish there were good unattended switches for it!

    alright, !wubi and Win7 do not play nice. although I'm not sure how well Win7 likes VirtualBox either...

      @daw echoes of #dr-dos?

      Thursday, 16-Jul-09 16:40:13 UTC
18. Douglas A. Whitfield Windows Ubuntu Installer

    either !wubi doesn't work in Windows7 or it doesn't work in VirtualBox...more testing ahead...

    finally got !wubi scripted for Vista. LiteTouch was the problem. AutoHotKey still has some problems at the end, but that's not a big deal
