Help needed on installation

[Artifaxx]

I am trying to install Kubuntu 7.10

When I boot from the live cd, it acts like it's loading, and then a command prompt screen comes up and says:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$

Is there a way to install Kubuntu from this prompt?

Thanks,
Sawyer

Re: Help needed on installation

What computer are you installing on? I installed on an old Dell a couple of weekends ago. I had a similar problem.

Have you tried using the Alt-Install CD?

Re: Help needed on installation

It isn't a Live-CD and offers more on the lines of a "generic" install interface. Has been what many used here for problem systems. Works a good bit of the time. Dibl could probably give better pointers on that.

From the Download pages:

Alternate install CD

The alternate install CD allows you to perform certain specialist installations of Kubuntu. It provides for the following situations:

* creating pre-configured OEM systems;
* setting up automated deployments;
* upgrading from older installations without network access;
* LVM and/or RAID partitioning;
* installs on systems with less than about 320MB of RAM (although note that low-memory systems may not be able to run a full desktop environment reasonably).

In the event that you encounter a bug using the alternate installer, please file a bug on the debian-installer package.

There are two images available, each for a different type of computer:

I got it to work in Graphics compatibility mode

One more question:
How do you uninstall Kubuntu?

Do you mean remove kubuntu from ubuntu. Or install a different OS?
