Just giving this a spin.. I downloaded a 32bit desktop ISO of beta 2, booting from USB connected HDD and running like a live CD. I can see my home network in the network manager wireless networking list but can't select it to connect. I bet I'm missing something obvious here, but it seems it only allowing selection of open networks. Is this a problem? <div class="gmail_quote">On Apr 7, 2012 5:10 PM, "Alan Pope" <<a href="mailto:alan.pope@canonical.com">alan.pope@canonical.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 07/04/12 15:40, Norman Silverstone wrote: > I would like to have a go but need a little helpful advice, please. > I have Ubuntu 11.04 on my desktop computer and wondered if there is > a simple way to install the version of Ubuntu to be tested along > side the version I use. > There is. Download the ISO, use USB startup disk creator to put it on a USB stick, or burn the ISO to a CD/DVD. Boot off the USB stick or CD/DVD and then follow the prompts. one of the options is to install side-by-side with your existing installation. Choose that, job done. Other options will allow you to "upgrade" or "overwrite". Don't choose those if you absolutely want dual boot. Once installed the grub boot menu will show both installs.
