AFAIK, the wubi is itself present in live CD of Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy
the file name is "wubi-cdboot.exe"
i did try it though as i don't have a windows system now.

but then you should have atleast 1 GB ram on XP, and 2gb maybe 3gb on vista

also then too both oses will lag,

^^if thats the case, just install via the live cd. a cd costs only Rs. 10(moserbaer)

^^No, No Wubi is Better , it does'nt mess the filesystem/MBR , doesnt confuse lin n00bs . and very good for those who are switching from linux

says who? Wubi also installs GRUB, and "messes" the MBR in your words. It too creates a linux partition and a swap partition. Besides, its hell easy to install ubuntu. You need just five lines of instructions for it noted down on a piece of paper.

Wubi is just a way for people sans optical drive to install ubuntu.

It is ofcource, faster due to copying files from HDD, but still, Live CD is hell lot simpler.

@dark star:wubi is an installer for ubuntu that installs it via an ISO through windows. Just google for it.

i don't suggest wubi because of the fact its still in BETA stage, so if it messes with your data then don't complain
