Hey
I have been trying to set up a ubuntu 10.4 server install on one of my machines at home, i have done this many times before with out any problems, i aquired a newer machine and thought to use that as my server. I downloaded and intsalled ubuntu 10.10 server edition orignially using a usb flash drive. Stupidly i didnt notice that the install did not complete correctly so during the install of the server there were corrupt files and the install could not complete.
I decided to drop down to 10.4 as i couldnt manage to download a working copy of 10.10. The intsall process completes without any problems however it keeps writing the linux files to the flashdrice opposed to the hard drive. Im selecting the machines harddrive as the location to install ubuntu too but it still keeps writing the files to the flashdrive
Anyone got any ideas on this, maybe im being a total spanner?? Ive tried several times now with out any joy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
