Clem,
I have been running Mint 7 in a wubi since 7 came out. I have RC1 (now fully upgraded to 8 with no problems) running slowly in Sun’s virtual box. I still need XP for my core business of Web design to run the latest versions of Adobe CS4 (Dreamweaver etc.). I also have XandrOS Presto running in a wubi type arrangement when I need a super fast boot up (about 14 seconds on my old compaq nx7010 pentium M). My old bios has lost the plot with all the partitions I have on my 160 GB internal drive. Will the new Grub loader recognise Mint 8 if I put it into one of my existing partitions? (Mint 7 and the last Ubuntu came up with an error message at boot) My old bios does not support booting from USB or I would boot it from an external drive or stick.
Ideally I would like to run it the same as Mint 7, IN a WUBI.
The new Ubuntu gives you the option of using the new or old Grub loader but I don’t want to go back to Ubuntu as I just love how every thing works in Mint straight out of the box.
Thank you
Grant

Please include wubi. It takes a lot of effort to partition my hard disk and stuff..

LinuxMint is great , but i use it with win installer, i am still winxp user, so i would be really happy if you could make it work with wubi.

Keep up the good work

Clem,

Please, with the release, tell the people who are dependent on a 3G dongle, whether they should wait or whether it is safe to install Mint 8. Especially newbies would be shocked to suddenly be without the internet connection — without a possibility to look for a fix.

DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a BIG pain in the ass for many thousands of users of Ubuntu 9.10 …….. Please advise us whether it will be solved in the new Mint release, or advise us on how to solve it easily.

Thanks

Daka
