Hi folks
I somehow managed to boot from ISO image of kubuntu 8.10 live cd. But I am unable to install it due to the fact that there is no partitioner or more appropriately the installer cannot display the harddisk on which the system is going to be installed. There is simply a black window on 4th step. I tried this tutorial (http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html) and then added the boot entry from this tutorial (http://deepbluespaces.blogspot.com/2008/07/install-ubuntu-804-from-hard-disk.html), I couldn't even boot first following 1st tutorial then changing the original boot command to 2nd's
--------------
title Install Ubuntu
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
initrd /initrd.gz
--------------
I managed to boot into KDE desktop and ran the installer but...:( as i mentioned the installed can't locate the harddisk table.
Any ideas to improve this situation? Do I need the alternate install cd for this purpose?
Regards
