I am currently trying to install the latest Ubuntu to my sister's computer and it will not install. I have tried Suse, Fedora etc. and those won't work either. The graphic interface never works and it never seems to save to the hard drive so I have to boot from the disk every time.
Current Specs:
AMD Athlon 3000+ 1.8GHz
512MB of DDR-400 RAM
Motherboard Unknow but has Radeon Xpress 200 Chipset
ATI Radeon x300SE Hyper Memory
40GB IDE Western Digital Caviar
Now Ubuntu goes to the command prompt never to the GUI. Its been hours of work and still nothing, but whenever I install any Linux version it can't read certain blocks and all of the CDs are of integrity and the memory is fine. Any ideas anyone?
Note: When installing Ubuntu, after the main loading screen and stuff, the screen shows random green artifacts and things everywhere! Its terrible to look at I thought my monitor was screwed up but that was the image coming through and then it goes straight to the prompt.
