It worked fin at the front page then it loaded all the driver and configuering x and so on. Then it came to the firt black screen with the "-" It worked fine it loaded hardware and the resticted divers and so on then on the same screen it said INIT: entering run level 2. This worked fine also it went really quick so i coulndt catch any words but i caught loading bluetooth then it came to another black screen with a "-" but it didnt do anything i let it run for an hour and it didnt do any thing i tried pushing every button and tryed loading it again 3 times but no succes. I really want to do this kubuntu linux os but i realkly need help

    What machine are you installing to? Desktop? Notebook? Make and model would be helpful in narrowing down your problem.

      It may or may not help your situation but try downloading another ISO image and burning that to CD. I had a disc I had used on several installs that would not work on a particular box; it would freeze at some point during the install no matter what. A new ISO CD fixed my problem.

          I feel your concern "id say its better that it should be with windows" . I also have a couple of desktops that are also OS stupid, one (e-Machine) of which won't even get past the Live CD boot (I'll bet IDE controller registries in Bios) and I thought e-machines were Dell or Gateway generics.Running a Gateway PII/900 and 6.06 fine. It is a shame that there is still hardware out there that gives us no easy choice, but then again if it were easy, we would have Bill G. doing it huh?.
