To begin with, I have been using Ubuntu 7.04, for a long time, I didn't upgraded to any upcoming versions.
Well, I downloaded the x86 CD image, I burnt a CD and tested on virtualBox it worked great.
However, there seems that in the real machine doesn't work. I don't know what happens exactly, the only key comb that works is ctrl+alt+del, neither ctrl+alt+backspace nor ctrl+alt+f(1...12) works... if they do, they only show a blank screen, I tried with VGA safe mode, and since I'm new to this I don't know what to do to make it run...

BTW: version 7.10 and 8.04 livecds hangs unexpectedly, I've seen that the lights of this machine's keyboard blinks...

If there is an special way to start and install it, help me...
(considering I don't have internet)

Regards.
