Hi all,
I have a Pentium4,256MB RAM Desktop which obviously is damn slow when I run Windows XP. I was trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 using a live usb stick.
The live usb is working alright on a higher configured computer. Hence I am sure live usb drive(made according to the info in this website) is working and perfect.
I tried to boot the desktop using the USB Drive, but got the error
"
could not read kernel image:linux
boot:_ "
which I found was some compatiiblty issue of USB drive with my hardware. I found the solution for this, here itself. It said I should format the USB drive as FAT16 instead of FAT32.
I did this ,checked on a higher confi computer and made sure it works.
Now installation from LiveUSB Drive started in my destop. I tried
installation/live mode/persistent mode and always it freezes during unpacking of some files.
It is something like this:
".....kernel thread..." it freezes here.
Please help.
I haven't tried a live cd yet, becoz i didnt have a blank one in hand.
