After seeral frustrating attempts to load Ubuntu 10.19,I ourchased anew dis in case downloaded one was faulty.I load the disc in and it starts loading.I then get sveral "gnome"errors displayed.I clck to "not delete"and it then contiinues to loadI get a sreen up to select "language",eventually I get the "forward" which I click.It then appears to start loading.However it is still in this state seven hours later.
I have noticed that prior to start loading the title says "Debian 4.1" is this correct or is this in my PC.Should I be using another disc to wipe this out???? is this the unrecoverable error????
I am a newcomer to this sort of problem although I used Ubuntu debian 4.1for a number of years,I felt I need to upgrade to 10.10 and now have lots of problem.Should I have :-
1....A live disc
2....A disc specifically for Ubuntu for a laptop
Any help would be much appreciated

Download the iso from here (http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download) and burn your own CD/DVD.
