Automatic process

UNetbootin is an installer that can do the following automatically. It is available for download at http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/.

Instlux is an installer that does all of the following for you, however it only supports older versions of Ubuntu. You can download it from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/instlux.

Wubi is an installer that uses a process similar to what described in this page, but the installation takes place within a file inside Windows, and hence, differently from the other approaches, it does not require to modify the partitions. In any case, if you later want install it to a dedicated partition, you can do it. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide.

Manual process

The netboot approach

This page will guide you through obtaining the files necessary to boot the Ubuntu installation from a FAT or NTFS partition, thus allowing you to install Ubuntu without any sort of removeable media. This guide assumes that you are running either some NT-based Windows(NT, 2000, XP) or Windows 9x (95, 98, ME).

Create a directory called boot in the root directory of the first primary partition of your hard drive (usually drive c:\, which it will be referred to as from now on).

The following steps depend on which version of Windows you are using:

Windows 95/98/ME (using Loadlin)

Download loadlin.exe.gz from https://passechambre.appspot.com/show/indexothers.html and unpack it to boot (If your default compression/archive program doesn’t like *.tar.gz files, try 7-Zip from http://www.7-zip.org)

Choose Reboot in MS-DOS mode in the shutdown menu orpress F8 (Ctrl for Win98/ME) during boot and choose command prompt only in order to start Windows in DOS mode

Get into the boot directory and run loadlin:

Now you should have a network installation going

Note: On some computers the installer has problems with the video card and you may get a «melting screen». I replaced vga=normal with vga=771 and it worked on my laptop Stjepan Stamenkovic

Windows NT/2000/XP (using Grub)

Extract grldr from the archive to c:\.

Create a new folder in c:\boot\ called grub.

Extract menu.lst (Should be in the /boot/grub folder of the archive) to c:\boot\grub The rest of the files in the archive are unnecessary. (If your default compression/archive program doesn’t like *.tar.gz files, try 7-Zip from http://www.7-zip.org or TUGzip from http://www.tugzip.com.)

Append c:\grldr="Install Ubuntu" to c:\boot.ini.

Note: Eventhough c:\boot.ini is not shown by the explorer, this file exists and can be also opened in the notepad. Just write the path c:\Boot.ini at the open dialog.

Open menu.lst in a text editor and paste the following text in the file:

Save menu.lst, reboot, and select «Install Ubuntu» in the windows OS chooser then in GRUB. You now have a network installation of Ubuntu going.

This procedure should be possible using a disk image, but it may be necessary to use a different kernel and pass some special argument in menu.lst to tell it to boot from the CD image (Has been achieved using Knoppix).

It would be nice if someone could automate this process. InstallationUbuntuFromWindows outlines how such an installation system might work.

The CD approach

This approach is documented in the Installation notes, however it seemed appropiate to put a reference to it here.

Note: This method only works with the Alternate Ubuntu install CD.

If you can’t boot from the CD-ROM directly it is possible to use the above approach to boot the kernel from the HDD and have the installation follow through on the CD-ROM.

Create a directory called ubuntu in the root directory of the first primary partition of your hard drive (usually drive c:\, which it will be referred to as from now on).

Download the ALTERNATE ubuntu-installer CD from http://www.ubuntulinux.org/download/ and burn the CD, then copy the contents of the CD to ubuntu.

Note: If you can’t/don’t want to burn a cd you can also mount the iso with a program like Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120% or simply open the iso file using 7-Zip

Extract grldr from the archive to c:\grldr. The rest of the files in the archive are unnecessary. (If your default compression/archive program doesn’t like *.tar.gz files, try 7-Zip from http://www.7-zip.org.)

Append c:\grldr="Install Ubuntu" to c:\boot.ini.

Note: Eventhough c:\boot.ini is not shown by the explorer, this file exists and can be also opened in the notepad. Just write the path c:\Boot.ini at the open dialog.

Create a new text file called menu.lst and save it to the first primary partition of your hard drive.

Open menu.lst in a text editor and paste the following text in the file:

Save menu.lst, reboot with the Ubuntu installer CD in the drive, and select «Install Ubuntu» twice. You now have a CD installation of Ubuntu going.

The CD image approach

Note: This method only works with the Alternate Ubuntu install CD.

If for some reason you can not (do not want to) write the CD it is possible to use the ISO image to do the installation from hard disk.

Create a directory called ubuntu in the root directory of the first primary partition of your hard drive (usually drive c:\, which it will be referred to as from now on).

Download the ALTERNATE ubuntu-installer CD from http://www.ubuntulinux.org/download/ and save the .iso file in the root directory of first partition of your hard drive .

Extract grldr from the archive to c:\grldr. The rest of the files in the archive are unnecessary.

Append c:\grldr="Install Ubuntu" to c:\boot.ini.

Note: Eventhough C:\boot.ini is not shown (by default) by Windows Explorer, this file exists and can be also opened in the notepad. Just write the path C:\boot.ini at the open dialog.

Create a new text file called menu.lst and save it to the first primary partition of your hard drive.

Open menu.lst in a text editor and paste the following text in the file:

Save menu.lst, reboot, select «Install Ubuntu» twice. You now have a CD image installation of Ubuntu going.

If you are installing onto the disk that is hosting the installer, and during partitioning the installer says that the kernel cannot read the new partition table, and that you should reboot your system, don’t. The partitioner has already flagged the new Linux partition as the boot partition, so the system will be unbootable. If you’re dealing with a system with no floppy or CD drive, you will be stuck. Instead, use Alt-F2, Enter to open a console and use cfdisk to set the boot partition back to the partition which hosts the installer, then go back to the installer using Alt-F1, as many times as needed to get to the menu, then select «Abort Installation» to reboot.

Установка Linux в Windows 10 и Windows 11 с помощью одной команды «wsl.exe —install»

Администраторы Windows 10 и Windows 11, которые хотят установить подсистему Windows для Linux (WSL), могут сделать это, выполнив одну команду в Windows 10 версий 2004 и более поздних версий, в том числе при использовании инсайдерских сборок Windows 11.

Microsoft представила данное улучшение в предварительных сборках Windows Insider еще в октябре 2020 года, а теперь улучшение стало доступно в последних обновлениях для Windows 10 версий 2004, 20H2 и 21H1.

Улучшение включено в KB5004296, которое является необязательным обновлением для перечисленных версий Windows 10. Поскольку обновления являются накопительными, новые функции будут представлены в августе 2021 года на всех устройствах с помощью стандартного способа обновлений – через Центр обновления Windows.

Необязательные обновления устанавливаются только в том случае, если администраторы операционной системы целенаправленно выполняют поиск обновления или загружают его с веб-сайта каталога Центра обновления Microsoft.

Microsoft отдельно не упоминает об улучшении WSL в примечаниях к выпуску. Однако, сообщение блоге разработчиков Microsoft, написанное Крейгом Лёвеном, подтверждает включение новой опции установки для WSL в Windows 10 версии 2004 и выше.

Как установить подсистему WSL с помощью одной команды в Windows 10 или в Windows 11

Все, что нужно сделать – это открыть командную строку от имени Администратора и запустить команду wsl.exe —install , которая инициализирует процесс установки WSL на устройство. По умолчанию будет установлена операционная система Ubuntu, поскольку это дистрибутив Linux предлагается в качестве дистрибутива по умолчанию, если администратором не указан определенный дистрибутив.

Главное преимущество нового метода заключается в том, что установка происходит намного быстрее. Раньше вам приходилось отдельно устанавливать все необходимые компоненты на устройство, а сейчас достаточно воспользоваться одной командой.

Список команд для работы с подсистемой WSL

Откройте меню Пуск, найдите и запустите Командную строку (cmd.exe) от имени Администратора.

• wsl.exe —install – устанавливает на устройство подсистему WSL и дистрибутив Ubuntu.
• wsl —list —online – перечисляет все доступные дистрибутивы Linux, которые вы можете установить с помощью команды wsl. В настоящее время это:
  • Ubuntu – Ubuntu
  • Debian – Debian GNU/Linux
  • kali-linux – Kali Linux Rolling
  • openSUSE-42 – openSUSE Leap 42
  • SLES-12 – SUSE Linux Enterprise Server v12
  • Ubuntu-16.04 – Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu-18.04 – Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu-20.04 – Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
• wsl —install -d DistroName – устанавливает выбранный дистрибутив. Замените DistroName названием дистрибутива. Также команда может использоваться для установки дополнительных дистрибутивов.
• wsl —update – команда обновления ядра WSL Linux.
• wsl —update rollback – команда отката к предыдущей версии ядра WSL
• wsl —status – отображает общую информацию о состоянии установки подсистемы WSL
• wsl —help – отображает список параметров и аргументов команд для подсситемы WSL.

Команда установки установит на устройство версию подсистемы WSL 2. Вы можете проверить это, запустив wsl с параметром status после успешной установки. Если вы видите версию 2, то это значит, что вторая версия подсистемы Windows для Linux установлена.

Новые команды значительно упрощают установку WSL на устройстве с Windows 10 и Windows 11. Единственная отсутствующая команда – это команда удаления, таким образом вы не можете использовать инструмент командной строки для удаления установки WSL с устройства. Microsoft не сообщила, будет ли этот инструмент также включен в Windows 11, но его добавление кажется логичным и вероятным.
