| = Installation = == Overview == Preparing your computer for Kubuntu is now much simpler, with a wider range of disk setup options.

You can now reinstall or upgrade an existing copy of Kubuntu with the Desktop CD installer, provided that your computer is connected to the Internet. == Download == Kbuntu 12.04 images can be downloaded from: * http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/precise/ (Kubuntu) * http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-active/releases/precise/ (Kubuntu Active) == System Requirements == The minimum memory requirement for Ubuntu 12.04 is 384 MB of memory for Kubuntu. Note that some of your system's memory may be unavailable due to being used by the graphics card. If your computer has only the minimum amount of memory, the installation process will take longer than normal; however, it will complete successfully, and the system will perform adequately once installed. '''TODO: Riddell/ScottK - can you check that the above is accurate.''' Systems with less memory may be able to select "Install Kubuntu" from the boot menu to run just the installer, rather than the whole desktop, or may be able to use the alternate install CD. = Upgrading = == Upgrading from Kubuntu 11.10 == To [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades/Kubuntu|upgrade from Kubuntu 11.10]] on a desktop system, press Alt+F2 and type in "kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade" (without the quotes) into the command box.
