Ubuntu Install

[Erix Kivuti]

Hey Kagwe.. I am a Strathmore Uni Student and I use Ubuntu 8.04.

I think 8.04 is more stable than 8.10..

My friends and I have been installing Ubuntu on several laptops here
in the uni, so I can help u..

Since I'm not working, I can come to your aid at any time..

Hallo,

Merry Christmas everyone.

Kindly assist me on this one. I bought a new machine with vista home
and I have every intention of using Ubuntu on it. i would like to keep
the windows though and have managed to shrink the volume to create an
unpartitioned space. When I slot in my ubuntu CD that was mailed to me
(version 7.10) and restarted the machine, all I get is a command line.
I havent the foggiest idea what to do with it. Info on the net seems
to suggest that the live CDs come with an installer but I'm not sure
how to get it to fire.

I have almost no experience with linux. I've only used it from time to time
