Hi,
just received my Ubuntu CD, but am having problems with it.
It boots up ok but take over 4 mins to get a GUI up. When I hit the
install icon it takes another 4 mins to get to the first (language)
screen, then another 5 mins to get to the date screen after which it
hangs indefinitely (I gave up after another 5 mins) although there
appears to be activity from CD and HD. I reran boot up after checking
the CD which reports ok but the same thing happens.
I am using a P4 running at 2GHz with a 60Gb hard disc partitioned with
Windows ME on the first partition and Fedora Core 4 on the 2nd. My
intention was to overwrite the existing FC4 with Ubuntu. Is this
feasable? Can you shed any light on the install problem?
Kind regards
Bill Thomson.
