Installing Ubuntu Part 1

Installing Ubuntu from the Live (Desktop) CD. In the video we pay particular attention to partitioning, and what the various options mean in the installer. Note: Ubuntu 7.10 was used for this screencast. This version of Ubuntu is not yet released, and should therefore not be used for production systems. Also, some screens may change between this screencast and when Ubuntu 7.10 releases in October.
