Someone trying to install Linux for me said my Desktop had 256 K RAM but when they clicked on the desktop Icon to install, the machine seemed not to do much. I was asked about my computers host name, my user name and password for my main account and asked about disk partitioning but when we chose use free space, the drive churned around for hours but showed no progress bars and even when this person went home after visiting my flat, 12 AM came but still no repartitioning. I started the installation at 2 yesterday afternoon and it had still made no attempts to finish partitioning. Is anyone aware of this as a possible bug because I am not only havving a problem installing Edgy, I can't even run the Orca screenreader when I press F5 3 at the boot prompt.</blockquote></blockquote><div> I'm not sure if it's a bug or not; your machine might be a bit on the slow side (especially if you have 256 K rather than MB!) for the live installation. Anyway, you might want to consider downloading the "Alternative" install CD. This option is handy for older hardware because rather than having a graphical installer using up all your RAM, it instead goes right to a blue screen and installs Ubuntu quite a lot simpler. </div>
