  1. [ubuntu] Re: Froze with motherboard tone, 3 beeps on boot

    Pull all the ram and fire it up... you should hear the beep code for no DIMM detected. If it's the same as what you hear with the RAM in, then you can bet you have a problem either with the RAM...

  6. [ubuntu] Re: Any way to install Ubuntu on a 2nd hand locked out laptop?

    After cutting my teeth on a Vic 20, I had a PC Jr. 128K of TOTAL ram (that is, until we spend hundreds of dollars to upgrade it to a whopping 640K) You had to swap 5 1/4" disks to load DOS...

  15. [ubuntu] Re: Does anyone understand these error messages?

    Do you still get those errors after resetting your BIOS to default settings?

    My key has a physical switch on it to set it to read-only mode. This has caused me grief a few times because it's always the last thing I think to check. Does your key have that?
