Serious I am already trying to do this from yesterday.

Try another burning program?

1. Download Infrarecorder
http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/?page_id=5
2. Insert CD
3. Press "Burn to CD" on Infrarecorder's top bar
4. Select your .iso
5. Burn.

I tried a lot of programs, with some of them I could burn it but then my computer don't want to boot from the CD.


If that doesn't work,

http://wubi.sourceforge.net/

Windows installer for Ubuntu. It's not pure, because you can't remove Windows and you can't dist-upgrade, but it'll work without a CD.


 Thx for that link, I am going to try it.

I downloaded Wubi, I let it install it then it restarts my computer.

I could choose between:  Windows and Ubuntu.

 

I choose Ubuntu and I get this:

^Did you wait after a while to see if Ubuntu would boot? Anyway, I think you're better off asking in Ubuntu forum... go http://ubuntuforums.org/

 Unless of course... someone here knows the solution and would help you instead.

I waited 45 minutes, then I just close my computer (because it was doing nothing).

And I can't believe it is normal to have all those errors.






Weird because my installation was flawless... O_o I didn't had a single problem!

Ok, for those that are complaining about Open Office's calc program -- what do you use it for? I make pretty damn complex sheets with a lot of nested conditional "if" statements and other fairly complex calculations and the program works like a champ. Clearly Microsoft's Excel is the more polished version and, well, it's commercial.

If you have something specific that Calc won't do or fails at, please tell me what it is as I'm curious...

 Mjah, software don't love me =/.

And the people on Ubuntu forum don't love me too, they just ignore my question x_X.

Still no luck? I couldn't see with my symbian browser those pics you linked, so i have to ask what error did it give you, or what did the screen say? Most common causes (that i know of) are: either the file you downloaded is somehow corrupted or the burning process failed for some reason. If the file is corrupted, you should try to download it from some other location, the OS is exactly the same, language packs are downloaded while installing. What kind of hardware are you using? Theres some compatibility issues with certain hardware (nothing that can't be solved). Oh, and i forgot, i saw you were trying to install feisty, i had some trouble with installing it myself, i would suggest trying gutsy instead, it has better (restricted) driver support and it has more eyecandy, if you have powerful enough GPU. By the way, did you just "drag" the ISO -file to to your burning software window? It doesn't work that way in windows, you propably have to choose an option (if supported) "burn image to disc" or "create bootable disc", and then open the file by browsing with the burning softwares window. From my experience from (finnish) Ubuntu forums, people do not respond until someone comes out with solution or thinks he/she has one.

 All those burning cd thing doesn't work so I just stopped it.

Makes me way to much frustrated X_X.

The thing from the picture is Wubi.

I install it and then I got this:

HD(0,0)
Filename is NFTS partitian.
(Linux, blabla)
(Linux, Blabla).
Laoding, please wait.
No raid disk.
40590 error
41520 error
Etc... (and another 100 errors).

I have never used Calc before so here are a few of my questions:

1. Can you create macros in the Calc spreadsheets? ( and I am not talking about putting "=..." in a cell.  I mean creating actually functions)  And if so what language does it use?

2. How well can it comunicate with a database?  Are there functions to have the spreadsheet automaticly pull data from a database and update the information when the sheet is opened?
