Hi there, been trying to get linux installed on a troublesome laptop for 48 hours now without any luck so thought I'd post here as my last option.
I've tried installing 10.10 desktop, 9.04 netbook remix and just this minute 10.04 netbook versions of ubuntu, as well as other versions of various linux distros.
Anyway to make my question more precise, my problem is as follows.
--------------
I woke up this morning and burnt 10.04 netbook to CD (not usb) as I wanted to put it on an old laptop with max resolution of 1024x768. I put it in an external CD drive and it boots up to the options screen on the Live CD, where you can choose to 'try Ubuntu netbook without installing' or 'install ubuntu netbook' etc.
The problem is, I can't click (press enter) on any of the options. The same problem arose with earlier versions, i.e 9.04 netbook remix Ubuntu.
Can anyone shed any light on this please?
Laptop model: Compaq Presario R3000.
