So I just got a new Pentium M Dual Core laptop (it’s a 32-bit system, but I forgot the clock speed) with 1GB of RAM and 80 GB of harddisk space.
I tried to install Ubuntu 7.10 and 7.04 using the Live CD method (which was succesful when I install it on my Pentium D desktop).
But with both versions, after the boot menu and selecting “Install from Live CD”, the progress bar just stop at the middle in the boot screen.
Strange thing is, when I tried the so-called Linux Rescue Disc that came with the laptop, the Live CD goes fine without a glitch.
But I don’t want to install that crappy Linux, I want my UBUNTU!
Can anybody help me to get the Live CD works?
Is there any other way to install Ubuntu 7.04/7.10 besides using the Live CD mode?
Thanks/
I’m betting it’s stopping at video detection. I don’t have a CD at my location to tell you the wording, but there is a choice for safe install; use that one. It bypasses video card detection and installs a generic driver. Once you’re in you can search for a better video driver specific to your model. All else of the installation will be straight Ubuntu.
