Hi,
I have an old Windows desktop, which has a CD ROM which does not work.
I have a live CD of Fiesty Fawn (7.04) burnt using my laptop.
I tried using the 'Manual Approach' specified https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick.
I followed the 1,2,3 and 5 bullet points specified there.
Teh desktop did boot using the USB, but once it boot up it was very very slow. I could see the ubuntu desktop but nothing happened for about 20 mins after I clicked on install.
I tried this twice and both times I had to reboot the system into windows.
I have another windows laptop with a working CDROM drive at my disposal.
I would prefer if I can use the live CD that I have rather than download a newer version since my download capacity is limited in both speed and size.
Any suggestions about how can I go about installing ubuntu on my desktop?
Thanks
Shikhar
