Good...
Keep at it (:
I wish I could install Ubuntu on my HDD, but the owner of the dektop I use sometimes says I she will think about letting me run a Virtual Machine w/ Ubuntu on it (:

Sounds like you are having fun.

Is ubuntu running as a Virtual Machine in Windows, so you run it like it was a Windows applicaton ?
If you are running Firefox in ubuntu, can you still use Launchy ?
Maybe you know this stuff, but it seems there are some interesting tutorials on this page
Thanks

Wubi installs as a Windows application, BUT IS NOT A WINDOWS APPLICATION.
It is an entire seperate Operating System.

thank you
I think the fuller answer may be:
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

Submitted by chiaroscuro on Tue, 12/09/2008 - 03:17Yes it certainly helps clarify things.
I could not work out how an OS could run as an application.

As a VM, of course!
I'm thinking of installing WUBI onto a USBflash drive, or should I install normal Ubuntu on the flash drive?
