Well i recently got ahold of the new kubuntu as of january 13 and am trying to install to my dell insperion 8100 laptop:
1.0 ghz Intel M 512mb ram Nvidia Geforce2go
cisco 350 wireless Dead Backlit screen.
I havent had much success though.....during install when it goes to copy to the hard drive the cdrom pops up with a message that the cdromdrive is not able to be read.
OK the Exact Error message that i recive is:
"The installer cannot figure out how to install the base system. No Installable Cd-Rom was found and no valid mirror was configured."
1.) I know the cdrom works and can be installed from. (gentoo,Xp,Me,NT,200,9x work just fine)
a) Though i've gone through about 10 images from ubuntu and kubuntu. Cd and dvd.
2.) I can get the installer to begin installing the files to disk if i unmount and remount using the auto detection system in the installer menu.
I cannot find a way though the installer menu to do a network install and i'm not too sure how to set it up...i've done a debian boot disk before for a network install ages ago though....
Follow up to #2:
After remounting the cd-rom the installer will start placing about 20% of the files down to disk though it stopps around boot strapping and gives the error message above. Though from this point unmounting and remounting the drive doesn't work anymore.... Though i can still switch terms and move about the menu.
Extra:
Every once in a while i do recive a message stating that the problem may be from the disc being dirty/not in the drive/to burn at a lower speed
1.) The disc s are straight off the spindle
2.) I can see the disc in the drive
3.) Is there a half speed to burn at
Cuz 1x wasn't slow enough i guess heh
I appreciate any help that everyone can give. Thank you in advance for everything.
