<DIV>The installer is quite simple. Insert the CD, then reboot your machine.
On most computers during boot-up, for a few seconds there appears a screen
(usually with the manufacturer's logo and whatnot) that offers boot options.
Mine says "Press F-12 for boot options," but yours may be a different key.
Press it rapidly a few times times while that short-lived screen is visible
and it will take you to a menu where you can<B> tell your computer to boot
from the CD-ROM</B> drive instead of the hard disk drive. Select CD-ROM and
press Enter.<BR><BR>Allow it boot up (it may be a bit slow on an old machine -
but once installed it will be <I>much</I> faster!). I have had better luck
with selecting the "<I>try Xubuntu without installing</I>" option at first,
then allowing it to bring up the Xubuntu desktop, and THEN clicking on the
"<I>Install Xubuntu</I>" icon than I have with choosing "Install Xubuntu" from
the initial Xubuntu screen.<BR><BR>This brings up the installer, which is very
easy! Just answer a few questions (time zone, keyboard, user name and choose a
root password) and click <I>Forward</I> at each step. With a decent Internet
connection, you should be up and running in under 15 minutes.<BR><BR>Enjoying

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Robin- thanks for the quick come-back. The
on-disk link is where I obtained the disks we're now using. As mentioned
earlier, both of us used the check CD for defects mode and and got the
"errors in (1) files" result. I get as far as the "linux kernal 100%
installed" step, then I have to wait for the "throbbing" logo. Usually,
process freezes up there. Sometimes, after several minutes I'll get a screen
showing error list, showing kernal panic message and init. killed. At this
point I can sometimes get out by control/alt/delete but usually have to hold
in start button long enough re-start machine, after manually overiding disk
ejection with pin in hole to eject the CD.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can't get to setting up as far a country, etc. As
far as a connection, on a good day my dialup gets me all of 28.8, so I'm
hoping that somebody'll tell my that we got defective disks, or I should just
send off for the 10.04. Was a happy user of xubuntu 7.04 for a couple of years
so I'd like to go with at least 9.10 if I can. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anybody who can give us a clue as to what to make
of the Error 22 message?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
