2020-02-15 23:51:54 Michel-Ekimia description - Wubi is useful for installating in virtual NTFS/FAT32 files but in most cases a hard install with Windows partition resize is a better option. - Proposed solution: - Propose a new mode "Hard disk DualBoot" where th user should choose how mush space Ubuntu can use on his Harddisk ( default? leave 10 Go to windows) - Download the iso or find it/select it. - Boot the debian installer with NTLDR in Toram mode so the windows partitions can be easily ( and automatically ) partitionned. - Carry on the installation including Grub using the iso available All this is already done by the win32 loader from debian with Success. this feature is IMO essential to help people to migrate from XP to Ubuntu after the 8th avril.
