Help in installing UBuntu 7.10 in Toshiba Tecra A8(Vista business)

Hi,

I recently bought a Toshiba Tecra A8 laptop with preinstalled Vista Business license. I would like to install UBuntu 7.10 as another OS.

However, I have some doubts:-

i) I am not sure whether do the above model supports Linux/Ubuntu in terms of compatibility. So far, I googled and knew that it has problem with audio.

ii)Second, I tried to install before Ubuntu 7.10 as another OS in the laptop.
However, it keep on rebooting to Ubuntu rather than a selection of multi Os.
Can anyone suggest me right way or steps to perform the installation?

Given I have only one partition, shall I separate the partition in Vista prior installing UBuntu? Or shall I install Ubuntu and choose Manual Option only to resize them?

Please help.Thanks.

plaintov

plaintov(1Vi)															     plaintov(1Vi)

NAME

       plaintov - convert image from Vista plain file format to Vista data file

SYNOPSIS

       plaintov [-option ...] [infile] [outfile]

DESCRIPTION

       plaintov reads an image in Vista plain file format and writes is as a Vista data file.

       Plain file format, defined in Vplain(5Vi), allows a small image to be created entirely using a text editor because it represents pixel val-
       ues in ASCII. In a Vista data file, those pixel values are encoded in binary.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

       plaintov accepts the following options:

       -help	      Prints a message describing options.

       -in infile     Specifies the input file, which is in Vista plain file format.

       -out outfile   Specifies the output file, which will be a Vista data file.

       -name name     Specifies the name to be given the converted image. Default: ``image''.

       Input and output files can be specified on the command line or allowed to default to the standard input and output streams.
