It's helpful if you can provide the following:

1. System information; system type, cpu type, memory, etc. You know, the
basic information about your system hardware.

2. Type of Ubuntu you used; version (i.e.,it 7.10/Gutsy), which CD
version (i.e., LiveCD, Alternate CD), desktop, server, other (Edubuntu,
Kubuntu), etc., etc.

Remember that you are asking the folks on this global user list to help
you. Nobody here is: a) a mind reader, 2) paid to help, and 3) know how
to help you unless you provide some details. Most are quite willing to
assist, but only if you give them something to go on.
