[01:23] <smoke_> hey guys! computer novice here getting ready to try and install xubuntu for the first time. I put new hard drive into a windows computer and planning to use disk imager to write iso to the hard drive. Am I on the right track?
[01:25] <krytarik> smoke_: No, not quite.  You need to create a bootable DVD/USB from it, and install from there.
[01:26] <smoke_> okay, can do! Do I need to format the hard disk with a certain file system type or anything prior? or the usb setup will take care of that all?
[01:27] <krytarik> The latter.
[01:27] <smoke_> @krytarik great thank you :)
[01:27] <krytarik> You are welcome. :)

[03:10] <nalrod> why is it always difficult to explain metaphores to kleptomaniacs?
[03:10] <nalrod> ...because they always take things ...so literally!

[03:10] <bazhang> nalrod, please take chat to the offtopic channel
