Mac version of NUSD

what's the extension? .torrent?

no mine was a direct download. and it just showed up as a removable drive (SD, USB ect.)or an app installer.

...a removeable drive? can you explain that a bit better?

EDIT: on the Lines of KNOPPIX the package menu is Synaptic, the same as Ubuntu and also bundled in Mint. anyway, bye as I am going to bed.

well the way it loaded it loads the ISO drive file and it found that drive inside.... but nevermind i fixed it. soo i can load it in Qemu but it gives me a bunch loading things then gets stuck at "checking for hot-plugging hardware..." now what?

did you get it running metroid?

TopGun96, if you need help, just contact me on AIM at PyrokineticDew, I'm usually always on but a power surge knocked out the backlight on my usual computer (iMac G4, and thank god I was on a surge protector, eh?) so I have to use another computer to VNC into it, so I'm on AIM sparingly now, but still often

If I were you I'd Burn Ubuntu to a CD then make a USB startup disk. Have you got any USB drives about 2GB?That way you can run Ubuntu from the USB drive. Windows can't do that, can it!

hey ubuntu is a live CD!? i will try that...

I know. it's a good OS for noobs at linux.

gee thanks......

lol. anyway, it should be fairly simple to use. and remember, I said noobs at Linux. I wouldn't say you're a noob here.

i know i am a noob at linux (heck i didnt even know it was free.)

but now i select " try ububntu without change to your computer " and then i get something like this

ACPI: no DMI BIOS year, acpi=force is required to enable ACPI
IO APIC resources could not be allocated.
Loading, please wait...

so now what? what would happen if i selected install since it is a virtual machine?

i think you should select install because its a virtual machine. because if you're putting windows in a virtual machine, you install it. there is no "live cd" windows, if you boot the install disc you have to install. so I think with a virtual machine you're meant to install. however, i have never used a virtual machine and have only run linux a few times from a live cd.

I have a virtual machine and, assuming you have allocated enough virtual HDD, can install from a virtual Live-CD. It JUST installs to a virtual Hard Drive. Can I see a snapshot of your settings for it, please? If you have about 1GB or above on your virtual Hard Drive, you're good. oh, and while you're running the Virtual Machine, you CANNOT access the computer outside it. You are limited to the virtual Hard Drive, virtual CD drive etc.

i cant take a pic of it but my settings are as follows:

Command+Shift+3 = Screenshot
Command+Shift+4 = select an area of the screen and it takes a screenshot of that area

oh nevermind i just got a dashboard widget that does it!

Oh great! yeah, just install Ubuntu. it'll just install to Harddisk_.cqow2.

but thats the problem it gets past the loading screen with the logo and then gives me a sort of command prompt sort of thing...

What do you mean? Elaborate?
Install from Live-CD mode, it works better.
