I have a desktop system on which I installed Ubuntu 8.04 several months ago without any difficulty and it ran great. Then as an experiment I install Windows 7 Bata and found to be another poor effort by MS and decided to install Ubuntu 8.10.
I downloaded the CD and started the install which starts out fine; I can select the language, the Time Zone and then the keyboard.
But when I get to the Prepare Disk Space I select “Guided – use entire disk” things slooow down. After hours I will get to the Name, User name. Password and Computer name window. More hour pass and I may be able to enter my name and some hours after that the install will crash.
I have tried to install Fedora 10 and that fails also, but I can install and run Windows XP Pro, Windows 7 Bata and an old Linux, “Linspire 5.0”.
I don’t want any of these, I want Ubuntu, what am I doing wrong? Send help!
