I'm pretty new to ubuntu and would like to install a wifi dongle. To do this I need ndiswrapper. Unfortunately I can't seem to be able to download and install the tools without having an ubuntu installation disk. I installed ubuntu using a usb flash drive rather than a disk so I don't own a live cd. How can I install these tools without having the disk? I do have internet through cabled network.
Boot one of over a hundred Linux distros from a USB disk. With Live USB, software you can run on both Windows and Linux computers, it only takes a couple of clicks to make your USB disk a bootable Linux disk. The live CD just might be the most useful tool in any geek’s arsenal – we’ve pointed out 50 uses for live CDs in the past and plan on showing you many more.
Gparted Live, a small bootable GNU/Linux distribution for x86-based computers that can be used for creating, reorganizing, and deleting disk partitions with the help of tools that allow managing filesystems, is now at version 0.15.0-3.
Gparted Live 0.15.0-1 can be installed on CD, USB, PXE server, and Hard Disk, then run on an x86 machine.

Many Linux users still keep their Windows partitions for many reasons, ie for work, for gaming, for fun ...

I've got a fresh image of BT5R3-GNOME-32-VM running in VMWare Player 5.0.0 build-812388 on a 32-bit Windows XP SP3 machine.
It's preloaded with VMWare tools (and I've tested and found copy/paste and all that working), I've enabled video acceleration in the virtual machine in VMWare Player, but when start X and go to System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects they're all grayed out
I am trying to introduce some computer science students to the world Of Linux programing. Instead of asking them to install Linux distribution on their systems, I have advised them to run it through Live CD or through VMWare, for obvious reasons.
Hello,
i really hope this question hasn't been asked, i looked around and couldn't find the same problem. if so, please direct me to the thread that talks about it.
I have a toshiba satellite with windows 8 installed on it.
I tried installing a "pen drive" version of Ubuntu from PenDriveLinux.com, but since it was a modified version of Live Ubuntu (i.e. that usually runs from a CD), it had some kind of custom "persistence" options that made some parts of the file system readonly. What I am looking to do is boot from my USB and have the distro work exactly like a "regular" distro - i.e.

What are good tools to show disk usage (for Windows)?
In brief, I have a system with several hard disks, and although we install everything on the extra (internal) drives, the primary drive (the one with the OS on it) is almost at max capacity now. This particular setup is a Windows 7 (x64) system which is required for our simulators, and therein lies the problem.
