Hello,
I've tried several times to install Ubuntu Server LTS on an IBM 6220
desktop I have and haven't had any success. I've downloaded the CDROM
image and burned it to a CD and verified it. I even tested the CD by
booting my Macbook from the CD. Works fine. But I think something is
wrong with the CDROM Drive in the IBM Machine because it won't work now
- - although it did once when I was trying to boot from an un-verified CD.
So I'm still trying to install Ubuntu. The computer recognizes and
seems to read my 8GB external hard drive fine so I was wondering if I
can boot from that. I tried just using the same disk image and putting
it onto the ex. hard drive but when I try to boot from that I just get a
blinking cursor. Any ideas on how I can boot and install from an
external hard drive or how I can get the cd to work? Thanks.
