Hey, I decided to install a distro of Linux (only ever used windows OSs before dating back to '95). My machine:
When I startup to the disc (burned using the image linked to at te bottom of the post) I get the initial menu with the Kubuntu logo and the option to just try it, install it, test the memory, etc. The only option that works for me is the memtest and that all comes out fine. Any of the other options first take me to a screen saying
and then after a loading screen
I have a SATA HDD installed with XP on it but I mean to install kubuntu on an IDE one that's also installed. I did check the iso with the md5sum utility before burning it onto the disc.
Anyone have any ideas? Help much appreciated. Thanks.
