hello everyone,
i have been using redhat 9 as the only os on my laptop from some years now and have decided to take the plunge and move up to xubuntu 8.04!
i have burned the desktop iso onto a cd and can see all the files on it (both on a ******* xp box and on my laptop). however, i am unsure as to the next step in getting xubuntu to install.
i can't seem to find anything obvious on the cd to kick off the install. :(
my laptop has grub 0.93 on it and i did think if i could get the thing to boot from the cd, i might get the opportunity to install once xubuntu was running. however, even after a few hours pouring over the manuals for grub and trying a few things in menu.lst, i can't seem to get it to boot from the cd.
i suspect i'm missing something very obvious, so if anybody could give me a pointer as to where to head next, i'd be very grateful.
cheers,
peter
