Linux Live CDs

Posts Tagged ‘installation’

I have a Pentium !!! 1.13 Ghz with 384 mb of ram intel motherboard pc is 3 years old. I tried to install it from the live cd but it stoped the installation when i reached 51% the next time it stoped at 50% and so on. I think the cd rom is not installing it well and it heat up very quikly when I install ubuntu but for other operations it works well such as to installing windows XP.
can i copy the setup to a 1 Gb usb drive and boot it as primary and install ubuntu to my pc.

Hello
I am a new user to Linux.I have got Live CD of Ubunu Linux.Now the problem that I face is that I can’t access my hard disk when I use Ubuntu through the live cd.The disk partitions are shown in Ubuntu but when I double click on them,it shows “Couln’t mount.Access denied’.I don’t wanna install full version on my Hard disk.Pls suggest any workarounds.

Another solution may be that I came to know that Knoppix offers ‘Poor Man installation’ technique where you can copy the live cd on hard disk and boot from that and use knoppix without live cd.In this way,you get good performance without the hassles of installing the full version.Is there a way to do that with Ubuntu.Pls help.If no,then can anyone tell me fom where on the internet can I order free Knoppix CD (I can’t download as my bandwidth is limited).

Thanks in advance.

As another example, there’s a Linux distribution named Ubuntu Linux and it boots from CD / DVD and runs as a “live” CD / DVD version, and you can also install Ubuntu from the Live version CD /DVD! So, from just one Ubuntu Linux CD or DVD, you can run the “live” version of Ubuntu …

A Linux “live” version is the complete Linux operating system, contained on a single CD / DVD. You just put the Linux live CD / DVD in your drive, start your system, and the entire Linux operating system boots and runs from the Linux “live” CD / DVD. This includes the Linux OS, a Linux…
