Hello everyone,

 

  I am a new ubuntu user and I thought I would take the plunge to switch my
desktop to Ubuntu. I have liked the live cds for version 6 and 7.04 on my
laptop but now it is time to really install the OS and make it my daily.  I
have worked with linux only a little for the past 7 years or so, but im
still a novice. When I try to install the linux distribution on my desktop I
receive the following error. Hopefully it doesn't word wrap.

 

[code]

BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3.5ubuntu7) Built-in shell (ash)

Enter 'Help' for a list of built-in commands

If I try to install the os as normal  by booting up and selecting the first
option, the vga option, or even if I want to check the disc to make sure it
is ok option.  I have booted many a times fine to ubuntu on my laptop fine
but this new setup is giving me errors.  If you need more information please
let me know what I can provide. 

The pc is a white box amd athlon 2 ghz, 1.25 gig ram, (3) 200 gig hdds, (1)
main 250 gig hdd, I think pioneer dvd burner on a separate raid controller
via ata interface.  The pc has been working fine with windows 2003 standard
server.

 

Thank you for the help. You can be as detailed as you want to be in your
reponse but remember to add the newbie notes for me as well. I say this
because I help in the OpenOffice tech List serv email and I see it is needed
sometimes.

 

Thanks,

semaj

filter right now.
