I am working with an
old Dell Inspiron 5000, P-3 with 192 MB RAM and 6.4 GB hard drive. The point I'm
at is as follows...
-start
computer
-first black screen
asks me to choose Win98 or Ubuntu
-if I choose WIN98,
no problems
-if I choose Ubuntu
see below...
-it starts loading
the 8.04 ver. CD but takes literally hours to load
-when finally loaded
I click on Install Ubuntu...no windows pop up, no choices are given, the CD
simply starts running
-I leave it run for
hours longer, thinking that it's formatting my drive and installing
Ubuntu and then nothing...computer shuts down
-I'm back to square
one
Any ideas would
help, please
Note: I am not
planning to keep both Operating systems on this comp. I simply want to run
Ubuntu. Can I simply format the drive in the WIN98 system and then somehow
install Ubuntu?
Thanks
Eddy
