Hey Guys....
I'm not a COMPLETE n00b to linux, but I've encountered a weird problem.
I've Installed Kubuntu before but ended up erasing my entire HD for other stuff, Yesterday I figure "Hey, I'm gonna install Kubuntu again" (Note that I am using a REALLY crappy/old computer) Anyway, I download Kubuntu for my 86 box and write it to a disc. I put the CD into my old computer and try to run Kubuntu live. It looks like it was booting up okay, but then it just stopped. I was like "WTF" and then the screen went blank...
So, I decided to just use the alternate ISO, so I download that and put it on a CD. Then I put the disc in the old computer and boot up installation. Everything was going fine 'till I started the partitioning. I got all my partitions set up and hit "Finish and write partitions to Hard Drive" (or something like that) and it stopped at fiftysomething percent. I thought "Oh, probably just a glitch or something" So i rebooted, started the installer, re-set up the partitions, and the same thing happened but it stopped and a different percent. THEN I though "Maybe a defect in the CD" So I made another one, and the same thing happened. Then I made ANOTHER one, same thing. Then ANOTHER...
Note that I have had Kubuntu on the system before.
I've got an Intel Pentium III 600MHz 512 MB of RAM
Yes, I know , its REALLY crappy, but thats ill ive got to screw around with.
Thanks
