    When I inserted my ubuntu livecd in my desktop, it gave me the install inside windows option, which seems like a more risk free and painless way to get ubuntu up and running. I use microsoft office and windows software for a lot of stuff on my Aspire One, so I don't want to risk blowing up my XP partition by accident. The install inside windows option seems a safe way to handle this without even having to repartition. However, without a cd-rom drive, that seems a problem. I've read the guide on here, but it seems more interested in installing ubuntu either as a dual boot or as the primary os. Can anyone give me a tip on the safest method? I'm new to linux and haven't learned command line since MSDOS 5. I really want to get the madwifi drivers, as I have heard it unlocks some functionality of the atheros wireless chipset that isn't possible in windows, particularly the passive modes and promiscuous modes.

    It does almost everything for you... More information on the site

    Once booted, configuration is the same as with normal install
