I've been trying to install Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS i386 from a CD-ROM on a Pentium IV 3GHz machine, always with the same problem - it doesn't manage to install linux-image-3.8.0-29-generic.
I checked the MD5 Check Sum of the ISO file and it is Ok. I checked the integrity of the CD-ROM and it is also Ok.
The error reported from syslog is transcript below (it is impossible to copy it from the console by this time):
//
Errors were encountered while processing:
/media/cdrom/pool/main/l/linux-lts-raring/linux-image-3.8.0-29-generic_3.8.0-29.42~precise1_i386.deb
Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Reading pagckage lists...
Building dependency tree...
linux-headers-generic-lts-raring is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-generic-lts-raring: Depends: linux-image-3.8.0-29-generic but it is not going to be installed
Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)
//
The suggested solution of 'apt-get -f install' is inocuos, as the system can't find 'apt-get'. It also can't find dpkg.
I have previously installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Desktop in this same machine with no problems at all. Now I would like very much to run the Server version, as all I want to do is build a small server.
What can I do to solve this problem, please?
