→Beginning the Ubuntu Linux Installation
To begin the installation, double click on the "Install" icon in the top left hand corner of the desktop. The installer will begin and prompt for keyboard and locale information. Enter the appropriate keyboard and timezone information. After entering this information the installer will ask for information about allocating the disk space:

When configuring a dual boot environment it is best to select the "Guided" option from the above dialog. At this point it is necessary to decide how much of your Windows partition you wish to donate to the Ubuntu Linux installation. Move the slider (positioned between the Windows and Ubuntu partitions in the ''New Partitions Size'' diagram) until the Ubuntu partition allocation is a size you are comfortable with. The guided option will not let you create an Ubuntu partition smaller than 3 2 GB. As mentioned previously, however, this is unlikely to be sufficient space, and at least 5 8 GB should be allocated to Ubuntu Linux if possible.
When you have selected the size of the Ubuntu partition, click the ''Forward'' button to proceed with the installation. When the warning dialog appears read it carefully and click ‘’Continue’’ ''Continue'' if you are sure you wish to proceed.
