Is there an application like wubi that would install a non-ubuntu linux distribution the way wubi installs ubuntu ?

Basically I want to install a linux distro (any distro, except ubuntu) without creating any partitions or overwriting my MBR.
I would use wubi, but ubuntu is just wayy too buggy.

AFAIK Ubuntu is the only distro that has the WUBI-installer. If you want to install a distro without making partitions you may want to try to install into a virtual machine, like Virtualbox.

ok I found something . Its called lin'n'win . http://www.icpug.org.uk/national/lin...00-linnwin.htm
It seems complicated to setup , but I found an automated lin'n'win installer for puppy linux here. Trying it now, hope it works..

Also why isn't this more popular? Its fantastic. Takes 10 seconds(yes 10 seconds!) to install a super fast awesome distribution of linux without knowing anything about linux , without learning anything, without creating any partitions, without messing with the MBR and nuking all your partitions. Its awesome.

Linux Mint also has a similar installer called mint4win or something similar.

It isn't more popular because when Windows dies, you lose Linux too. Also when you reinstall Windows, Linux disappears too, with a traditional setup you can reinstall Windows, then reinstall your favorite boot loader (because the Windows install will always wipe your boot loader) and Linux is untouched.

I remember a long, long time ago when I tried this kind of thing, I think it was called Lin4Win and came with Mandrake 6.5, I made a total mess of Windows and never got Linux to start once. Installed it the traditional way and it was perfectly happy along side Windows 98.
