I feel like a dolt for asking, but I am going to anyhow. I have been trying for the last several hours to get Ubuntu to install on an old HP Pavilion 6535 Desktop. The computer has a Celeron 466MHz Processor with 192 MB Ram. I know that it is possible to run ubuntu on this particular system, as I have seen this exact model for sale with Ubuntu installed on it.
When I try to install, it appears to run very slowly, then several I/O errors come up on the screen, and then it shuts down, or if I turn off ACPI, the system appears to load properly, but within a minute, I get a scrambeled pixelated screen and it freezes. These same errors also happen if I use Kubuntu or Xubuntu.
I am out of ideas, and any help would be greatly appreciated. If anyone thinks they can help, I will try to provide any information needed to the best of my ability.
