Call for Testing: Wubi

As beta1 for precise draws closer and closer, it's time for testing some new stuff. On the docket is wubi, everyone's favorite way to get ubuntu without having to worry about disk partitioning or losing there current windows installation. Wubi was created out of a desire to lower the barrier of entry for newcomers to ubuntu. So, if you want to help create a wonderful experience for those new users, I would encourage you to help test wubi. The testing window for this goes through the weekend, as the first iso spins will be happening on Monday for iso testing :-)

Setup
Prerequisites: You will need access to a computer that has windows xp or higher installed on it. In addition, the computer will need at least 5 gb of free disk space. As always, make sure you have backups and can restore the computer if required.

1) Download a current daily image (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/). You can chose a 32-bit or 64-bit desktop cd.

2) Burn the iso you downloaded. If you need help burning the iso, check out this handy wiki article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto

3) Boot up the windows computer.

Testing
Once you have the cd and the windows computer is booted you can run through the testcases. For this round, we're focusing on 2 tests;  wdi-001 and wdi-002. Check out the wiki page and follow the instructions for each case. http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/DesktopWubi
Once you've gone thru both testcases you should have a working ubuntu install alongside your windows installation.
