Subject: 7.10 No Brown Desktop

 

I have downloaded Ubunto 7.10. from the internet.  This is not the burn to
disk version, or at 1 AM the night I loaded it I loaded it straight in.  I
remember I did not make a disk then.  The program is running, I do not know
how correctly.  7.10 is on a seperate HD by itself.  I have since downloaded
and burned to disk 7.10.  I got the book "The Official Ubunto Book" by
Benjamin Mako Hill.  Since I have 7.10 installed I went to to chapter three
page 55 "Using the Ubunto Desktop".  I started my way through chapter three
with my computer on and logged into 7.10.  First I have no brown desktop.  I
tried following the book directions.  Things only got worse.

 

 In reading the book it says to boot up the system with the disk in the CD
drive to install 7.10 from the disk. It does not boot up from the CD.  I
believe this is in Windows, but the book is not specific. I am trying to
install the disk version of 7.10 over the presently installed 7.10.  This
should clear the drive of the existing program and load the new disk version
of 7.10.  The book also says the system will boot up off of the CD drive.  I
believe if I can get the Windows portion to bootup off of the CD drive that
the the installation of the disk version of 7.10 will install. I do not know
how to get this done.  Help!!!!!

Better yet, how does one un install Ubuntu 7.10 from a computer?  Once the
7.10 is gone the diskload should work OK.
