Hi Derek

To do a command line install, you'll need to download (or otherwise
acquire) a copy of Ubuntu 6.06 Alternate CD. There are three types of
CDs available for Ubuntu as of Dapper Drake - the Live CD (which you
have), the Alternate CD which does a command line install, and a DVD
with both versions.

The quickest and easiest way to get the Alternate CD is to download it
from the Internet (local mirror is
ftp://ftp.is.co.za/linux/distributions/ubuntu/releases/6.06/)

If you're short on bandwidth, find your nearest Freedom Toaster
(http://www.freedomtoaster.org/) and get it from there. Petrol is much
cheaper than bandwidth in South Africa.

Hope this helps.
