Well in that case, if you right click on it, you should have an option to install with the GDebi Installer. If not, here's how to do it via the terminal.
$ cd /directory/in/which/the/deb/is/found
$ sudo dpkg -i name_of_deb_file.deb
I was going to install my Live CD, but for some reason, Ubuntu is not recognizing my Wireless Network Adapter/Card/Thingy. Why is this? How would I fix it?
Installing your operating system can be a pretty fun and funky experience.
As anyone who's installed the entire operating system by themselves before can tell you, things like multimedia codecs, Wireless drivers, graphics drivers, etc. generally must be installed after you've set up your Operating System.
Since an Internet connection is not required to install Ubuntu, I'd recommend printing this page and using it as a guide for the installation. 1
After your installation is finished, if you have an ethernet connection you can use2 nan can walk you through installing and setting up ndiswrapper3.
1: Don't get too confused when it gets to the partitioning stage, as that guide walks through each of the three possible options. CHOOSE THE OPTION THAT ALLOWS YOU TO RESIZE THE EXISTING WINDOWS PARTITION WITH THE SLIDER. You just set the percentage of the total hard drive you want the resized Windows partition to take, and click Next. This'll just resize the Windows partition and install Ubuntu on the new free space.
2: Even if you don't have an ethernet connection, you can always use your Internet on Windows to download the deb (which is the Ubuntu equivalent of an EXE), and as Linux can read NTFS (the filesystem Windows XP uses), you can install it that way. However, Ubuntu is great with Ethernet connections (most of it is really explanatory - seriously. Generally, it's no more complicated than clicking the Network Manager on the Panel {hard to miss it}, and selecting "eth#" from the dropdown menu), and if you have an ethernet cable, you can easily use that until you've got the wireless down pat.
3: ndiswrapper is a utility that is required to use some wireless devices. Some wireless cards won't work right on Ubuntu without this application.

You're confusing me. Do you mean I should DL the Linux driver for my wireless card, and then put that on linux?
You're just using a D-Link to connect? This should hopefully work stellar then! When I was at a summer camp at a university, I used a DLink to connect to their wireless, and the following got it up and running.
Okay, on the Ubuntu Live CD, try the following. Report back and let me know if it does or doesn't work:
1. Double click on the Network Manager panel applet to bring up the network window.
2. Click on the dropdown menu. If you have a usb option, select it, and wait about thirty seconds. Then open up Firefox and locate to Google. If it works yay, you are done, etc. - if not, continue. If your only option is "lo", also continue.
3. Click the Configure button to open up a new dialog. If it prompts you for a password, enter your user password.
Somewhere in this new dialog is a button that will scan for any possible connections. It SHOULD find your wireless connection. If not, report back and we'll go old school on this.
Anybody can help me with IE 7? I recently installed it but I am having some problems with it:
1. When I scroll my mouse downwards, the windows move downwards like it should. However, a few seconds later it scrolls downward again and the same phenomenum occurs until the bar reaches the end. I do not have this problem with IE 6 and any other programs.
2. Is there a way to change the fonts in IE 7 back to something like in IE 6? The appearance looks different.
Quote from Aaron Forsythe on Guildpact: Twenty Questions »
When Guildpact was handed over from design, it also had seven gold rares per guild,... and that the seventh gold rare in each guild was less important to the set than the Nephilim. So each guild is down a rare in this set.

If you added the "dev" part of the repo as well (meaning on your sources.list it says "deb http://gandalfn.club.fr/ubuntu edgy stable dev"), you can add the stuff in red. Otherwise you won't be able to.
Also, if performance seems slow, change your defaultdepth to 16 rather than 24.
sudo chown -R [color=red]username[/color]:[color=red]username[/color] /windows
sudo mount -a
In your Filesystem (aka / folder), you will have a windows folder. This should mount your windows partition there every time you start the computer into Ubuntu from now on. You should also have full read/write permissions in this folder. Mind, however, that Linux cannot natively write to NTFS partitions. So you'll be able to access your Windows data, but not save over it, etc.
you should probably use phpBB since its free. There should be instructions on how to set it up. If you don't actually have access to your server to be able to put php pages on it, sign up for a free forum at someing like invisionfree.

Make yours look like the one listed below (ie. add the red portion where it goes):
Then
In your Filesystem (aka / folder), you will have a windows folder. This should mount your windows partition there every time you start the computer into Ubuntu from now on. You should also have full read/write permissions in this folder. Mind, however, that Linux cannot natively write to NTFS partitions.
