Then, I took the disk to another computer, booted it and got only to the CD checking step of installation. There, I get an error message that tells me that no "Release" file can be found. I thought maybe the CD got damaged, but i booted it on another computer and it worked just fine. Downloaded the ISO file again, burnt another CD and the same thing happened. It worked fine on two other computers, but on the one i wanted to install Ubuntu Studio, I got only to step 2 or 3 of installation (cd check) and got that error message ("no release file found"). Actually, i got exactly the same problem trying to install 64 studio, so i thought maybe it was some kind of bug with the Debian installer. << Hello Fran, I'm something of an expert on installing and uninstalling various Linux distributions, as I've been trying hard for several years to find a good replacement for Windows. Ubuntu 5.10 earned a spot on my short list a couple of years ago, and now I'm up to Ubuntu 7.04 with Ubuntu Studio added on ... just to give you some background. I've found that pre-compiled Linux installers (and not just Ubuntu) can work extremely well on one computer and not well at all on another. It has a lot to do with different hardware (different motherboards, chips, peripherals like modems, printers, scanners ...). When installations fail, I think they can often be made to work but that requires a more intimate knowledge of Linux command-line instructions. I would try this if I were you: Download the appropriate Ubuntu 6.06 or Ubuntu 7.04 installation CD and install that first, get the networking configured so you can get online with it and get updates using Aptitude (in the Terminal) or Synaptic Package Manager. Then install Ubuntu Studio on top of that. This is the way I've done it on several computers, and the only problems I've had after that are in customizing things to work the way I like to work. Let us know if this works for you, because other users may benefit from your experience either way. Good luck! ...
