I recently ordered the kubuntu 8.10 CD and i'm trying to install it on an old computer. it meets the minimum requirements and currently has win98 installed on it. it starts out fine andasks me which way i want to install it so i just choos install kubuntu sense i dont want windows on there. then it asks what language and loads up the kubuntu logo with the moving bar then it gives me buffer I/0 errors and cant read pages and logical blocks.... i had a friend reconfigure the settings and it loaded up the same way but this time it took me straight into sudo commands which i played with and can't understand (im new to programming) I tried typing in kde and k and casper and all kinds of stuff... somehow i got to grub commands and didnt understand that either then i went back to sudo commands... not exactly sure what i was suppose to do at that point. So i rebooted...
I reset the bios and it went back to the errors which it never gets past. I have also tried installing it beside windows... the first attempt it said it couldnt find the CD. the second attempt it said there was an error and couldnt continue.
i have a 2000 HP with 500mhz, and 328 ram 15GB HD
any ideas?
