    Without any cd, disk, or usb, i managed to install xubuntu on my computer with the unetbootin. But after few days of use it was fairly slow for my taste. the unet also had a damn small linux version as well, which i installed and booted into. However, here comes the problem. Everytime i install the DSL it gives out errors like doesn't have enough space, can't find the partion, etc. I have used the cfdisk and checked with making sure it is installed on the right partition. I am just not understanding as when it is loading, i don't get any boot option as if it was already installed and the installation is haveing problem with the partitions as i told above. Anyway to solve the problem of can't mount the partition, no space, etc. during the whole installation?
    thks

    someone -
    What sort of machine are you working with? I assume it's not the one listed in the bottom of your post?
