I installed 18.04.1 but it wasn't clean and I think its wrong. So, I created a boot dvd and tried to reinstall. I put in the dvd and pressed the on button and it did its thing for a time (disk and dvd lights rapidly blinking, etc). Then it finished and the screen presented me with a screen that consisted of a bunch of horizontal lines and was very colorful. It was waiting for me to do something but I do not know what that might be.
Thoughts?
I just made another run at it and I got a screen I could deal with and its now installing. This being the case I will mark the one as solved. Oh, this is the third time I have tried this so, the third time is the answer! I should mention that I have been trying all day long. I have tossed 2 cd/dvd's as they were making strange noises, etc. In that case too it took 3 times to get something that worked.
Sorry to waste your time - apologies. I will mark this as solved.
