I am sorry for this stupid question. but i would appreciate some basic help.
I am trying to install xubuntu on an old windows 98 computer of mine. I have downloaded the .iso file onto my mac (because i want to burn it to a cd, and download it to my 98 computer). But after I downloaded the .iso file, it vanishes. How do i find it (and I know the folder it is going into, it simply is not there when the download completes, i think because the mac doesn't recognize the .iso format)? I know this probably only requires a very basic change in my settings, but can someone help me.
Oh, and I have an instillation disk for ubuntu, and when i tried to install it, it goes through the part with the progress bar and then the screen sits black. so i figure ubuntu is too memory intensive for my ****** old computer.
again, sorry for the stupid question.
thanks,
joe
