Hi all,
A kind man gifted me a Toshiba Tecra A1 a week ago, which is running windows XP professional SP3 very slowly, and no MS Office.
I desperately need to be running Open Office on a fresh install for work I need to do ASAP. So I downloaded:
ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso
...and got the message...
This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU
Pae
Unable to boot - please use a kernal appropriate for your CPU
Could someone please recommend an OS - an earlier version of Ubuntu assumably that I can install off a USB drive I bought for the purpose today?
I am in hospital and dont have acess to anything besides a USB wireless internet modem, the Lap top, and the flash drive. I also have the -
ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso on a CD I bought, which is also on ISO on the desktop of this machine.
I am in hospital for a bad leg infection, I been here for 2 weeks and going to be here for another 2 weeks. I've had 2 surgeries under general anesthetic and will be having at lease 1 more (skin grafts).
I need to be emailing perfect documents by next Tuesday. Could someone please help me I don't want to do this on my own. I got a bit of money and can get to a computer store if I need but I cant really afford much.
Many thanks in advance!!
