2.5 minutes ? Your configuration ? And which version you tried ? I found version 8.10 taking more than 15 minutes using inside virtual machine. Not sure about real hardware time. Maybe less or the same time system will take. Who knows ?

I forget my version. But I mean doing things like "setting username and password". But I also mean for the system.

Username and password changes after installation can be done in seconds. What i mean is how much time you took for installation. If you're saying 5 minutes then it's unusual for me, i have never seen having such a high speed for ubuntu installation. So i asked you if what was the version and also interested in pc configuration to see at what configuration such high speed installation is possible.

Not exactly, i want you to tell me which version gave you fast install like that. You can find out about your version of ubuntu by simply using "cat /etc/issue" this command in terminal. This will give you version of ubuntu installed on your system.

In my opinion, in order to really measure the setup time, you must start with a freshly bought disk, or a disk you just formatted using "format c:" from a msdos diskette. then you put your install CD inside the reader, you power on your system, and you start measuring the time. You boot Linux, you choose everything you want to install (in old Redhat versions there was a menu quite at the end saying 'install everithing', now you must click each subserver you want to install). Then you need to test the Ethernet board, test that a DHCP server is available, accept the standard DHCP install, clic continue. Then you see "please wait, formating the disk" (nowadays you format 300 to 500 gig's). Then you see "verifying rpm's concistency", please wait. Then you see "copying files". Then a first reboot. Then a prompt "pleas insert update CD 1". then "Please wait". Then "installing please wait". Then, if you are in front of the computer, "do you want to add more users?" Then logout then reboot Now stop the watch. Did you really perform this in less than three minutes ? Usually, I need between half an hour and a couple of hours, depending from the speed of my disks.

Okay, Maybe change the time, I didn't do those things, yordan. But, yordan, you have a valid point.

I know that you installed it hannah. But i was asking how much time it takes from booting from CD to complete install. Was that 5 minutes for you ? If so, i would like to know the version you installed with such short times. That is all i'm asking.

With Wubi The Hard Drive Does Not Have To Be Repartitioned Before The Ubuntu Installation
(2) Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows that lets you install and uninstall Ubuntu from a Windows
desktop. Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu which allows you to run Linux. Ubuntu is
installed within a file in the Windows file system (a loopmounted partition), this file is seen by
Ubuntu as a real hard disk. That way the hard drive does not have to be repartitioned before the
Ubuntu installation. The resulting Ubuntu installation is a "real" Linux system, not just a virtual
machine. Wubi makes it easy for Linux newbies to play around with Ubuntu. http://wubi-i....
