I'm trying to install the ubuntu netbook remix on an older Eee PC (4 gig SSD drive), and it's not letting me get past the prepare the disk space.
I'm booting from a USB key, and I can get it and do various things from the live image. However, when I go through the install, it gets to the "prepare disk space" screen, and then I can't proceed. Screen looks like this:
Prepare Disk Space
Thsi computer has no operating system on it.
(blue bar)
free space 4MG, /dev/sdb11 3.7GB
Where do you want to put Ubuntu-Netbook-Remix 9.10?
o Install them side by side, choosing between them each startup (this one is selected)
o Erase and use the entire disk
greyed out list box is shown, refers to sda
This will delete Debian GNU/Linx (4.0) and install Ubuntu-Netbook-Remix 9.10
o Use the largest continuous free space
o Specify partitions manually (advanced)
bar with slider for free space, /dev/ddb1, and Ubuntu-Netbook-Remix 9.10
And then nothing else - no forward button, or anything like that.
I cannot select any of the radio buttons, and I can't choose anything in the list box - I don't have any options as per the install, other than closing it.
Help? and thanks!
