Hey guys,
I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 on an old computer with the following specs:
DELL Dimension 8100
Pentium 4 1.4Ghz
512MB RD-RAM
40GB HD
I downloaded ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso from the site, then did a MD5 Checksum on both it and the CD, and they both checked out, but when I boot the Live CD, then select an option, it just sets there and freezes. It sometimes even has a little rectangular glitch on the screen, but it does nothing beyond that.
What could my issue be?
Thanks for any help in advance!
