Installing Kubuntu 7.10

[Ana Lopez]

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your help. When I switch on the computer, asks me for a boot 
system again, nothing has been installed.

The mark of my computer is Beep Iridium F12 T7250 (I think that it is only 
known in Spain).
The processor is Intel Core 2 Duo T7250, 2 x 2.00 GHz.
The graphic Controller (I was warned of possible compatibility problems) 
Intel GMA x3100

I'm going to try with the alternative installation CD.
