I built a PC from scratch last night and tried to use a Live CD to install Ubuntu 9.10 desktop edition.
The PC has an unformatted disk, an Athlon II processor and 2GB of memory. It's very bare-bones and basic.
The live CD booted and gave me the usual menu. I selected "Install Ubuntu." Instead of pogressing to the disk-partition menu, it proceeded to load an Ubuntu desktop login screen and ask me for a userID and password.
Has anyone seen this behavior before?
I switched to an Ubuntu server CD which behaved normally. Unfortunately that particular CD had corrupt files on it so the kernel couldn't load.
I will try again tonight after burning a new image to a USB stick (to eliminate media-corruption considerations), so I'm not really looking for a solution --- I'm just curious if anyone else has seen this behavior. Perhaps it was an error in the LiveCD build on one particular day?
