What ubuntu does is 1) Install ubuntu as a windows program 2) Run the ubuntu installer as any other win32 installer 3) Ubuntu is installed on a clean NTFS partition 4) Use windows bootloader So, you install and uninstall ubuntu from within windows. But, to switch between windows and ubuntu you have to reboot. This is what I have gathered from other people. I haven't used it myself. Probably the wubi[1] page would have more information on this. 1. http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php#internals -- Twenty Percent of Zero is Better than Nothing. -- Walt Kelly
