Running Ubuntu On Windows XP With Portable Ubuntu

clipped from www.howtoforge.com Running Ubuntu On Windows XP With Portable Ubuntu Version 1.0 Author: Falko Timme <ft [at] falkotimme [dot] com> Last edited 04/08/2009 Portable Ubuntu for Windows is an Ubuntu system running as a Windows application. All Ubuntu applications appear as a window on the Windows desktop, and you can even copy&paste between Ubuntu and Windows applications (in both directions). You can also copy Portable Ubuntu to your thumb drive and carry it with you (you don't need to "install" Portable Ubuntu on Windows - all you need is the Portable Ubuntu folder). This guide shows how to use Portable Ubuntu on a Windows XP desktop. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you! 1 Preliminary Note I want to mention two important details here that might be useful later on for the usage of Portable Ubuntu: First, the default username is pubuntu and the default password is 123456 You can access the Windows C: drive from Portable Ubuntu as /mnt/C.
