I did the command line install on an old amdk6-2 desktop with 384mb ram and 13. gb hd from the xubuntu 8.10 alternate cd. It seemed to install with no problems but the network connection did not configure. There is a Belkin USB wireless adapter but not a way to use a wired connect.

When i try to sudo apt-get install for the minimal desktop and package manager I get the "couldn't find package xorg".

Is there a way get the files off of the cd?

Thanks.

Go to System, Administration, Software Sources to enable the CD-ROM/DVD.

Or, since command line installs don't have a System menu :):



sudo apt-get cdrom
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ...

Oops, my bad.

I tried the apt-get cdrom but get the "E: Invalid operation cdrom"

Any other ideas?
