8 mb C drive.

[rishav]

HI,

I have 40 GB harddisk partitioned as 10 GB and 30 GB. I had windos xp on 10 gb C drive and data of around 20 GB on D drive. I wanted to install Ubuntu gutysy gibbon so i removed the 10 gb partition made 8 mb C drive and installed xp on D drive. Now I encounter probelm while installing some softwares like java virtual machine. They try to use C drive for temp drive but I dont have space overthere. How can i tell them to use D drive instead.

Thankyou in advance.


P.S.
Pleaes dont talk about softwares like partition magic and vmware.

During installation process of any software they ask for the specific folder. just specify the location in which you want to install the software and it will be done.

I was trying to install java virtual machine for firefox. Before asking such qustion it needs to extract it files and this idiot program is trying to extract in C drive. All my temp drivers are D.
