Hi!
I downloaded and burned a CD with the iso of 12.04. When I boot with it, I get to the screen that asks for language and then presents me with the options to do a live boot, install, check disk for errors, and a few other options as well as options for F1-F6. Regardless of if I choose live boot or install, it goes to a blank screen with a blinking cursor for a few seconds, then restarts and starts booting again. I encountered the black screen with the cursor restart problem with a USB mount, although with USB I never reached the Ubuntu options screen described earlier.
I have a Dell Dimension 4700 with Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHZ, 2.0GB RAM, an Nvida 8400GS 256MB.
Please help, I used Red Hat back in the 90s and early 2000s and miss it, really want to rejoin the community.
Thanks
