Hello everybody,
I’m a new member to the forums, and linux itself. My friend has been telling me about linux for a little while, while we were at school, so I finally gave in. (2 years later lol)
So I went to download ‘Linux ubuntu 7.10 – Gusty Gibbon’ from the site, I had some problems with burning the .iso file, with multiple programs, it never worked.
So I looked for a torrent on isohunt.com, and I found the ‘LiveCD’ .iso file, it seemed to have all the updates and what not. So anyway my problem is as follows.
I burn the .iso onto a DVD, it works fine. I reboot my PC and I load from the DVD. I get the first screen to pick what I wish to do.
I pick ‘Start liveCD/install’
Then the loading splash screen comes up, after about 4-5mins the next black screen loads, at this point 4 lines of text appear and it just stalls.
- Below I have pictures of every move I had done.
Loaded the boot disc

They are linked pictures because I didn’t have time to resize, sorry.
Added info:
I know that the DVD works, I ran the check on the option screen, it checked out. Also it works on my old IBM T43 laptop.
Any help would be very much welcome, Thank you all in advance for reading and taking the time to help me out :)
