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.

I’m planning to upgrade my PC, will i still be able to run “Linux for Intel based systems” on an AMD processor?
This is the processor in question:
HP Pavilion 14.1″ Laptop featuring AMD Turion X2 (DV4-1428CA):
Turion RM-75 2200 MHz/2 x 512 KB/2000 MHz/11x/35 W/Socket S1G2/OEM
Such things as Ubuntu, will those distros run on AMD systems? As in, can i run a live cd that works on my Core 2 Duo, on an AMD?

Ok, this is going to sound as weird as heck. So I had my Mac Mini running Leopard, and I decided to install Ubuntu 8.10 on my external hard drive (500 GB). So I burned the CD, booted into it,selected the installer, selected my external hard drive to install Ubnuntu on, which was SBC or somthing like that. So I went on and right before the instlaller started, I made sure all my settings were correct. It said it would format my external hard drive, so I hit Continue. After the installer was done, I rebooted. I held down Alt (Option) and all that was on the list was my Live CD. So I got all freaked out and restarted without holding down Alt or C. No Apple, and so I just waited. And big whoop-de-do, no Mac OS X or Linux! So I’m like HOLY SHIT and so I restarted, and the same file with the question mark appeared again. So I booted into the live CD, and all day I have tried to install Ubuntu onto my external and also tried my internal. No luck. So I was wondering if somebody could help me with installing Ubuntu until I buy another Leopard CD. And please, no wise cracks like Drop you computer off a balcony or somthing. And no, I can’t call a technition. So, I’m trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 on an Intel Based Mac Mini, with only the Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD (desktop edition). And if you are wondering, yes, I am running the live CD right now.
And also now my external hard drive had 3 partitions, and I was also wondering if there was a way to get rid of them.

I recently installed Ubuntu Linux and have a duel boot with my Windows XP. I had never used Linux before and fell in LOVE. I would make a complete transition, but unfortunately, my sound card will not work. I have run my Live CD on other machines and (wouldn’t you know it) the only computer that the sound won’t work on is my Sony Vaio. I consider myself a very computer savvy person, but I am all new to Linux. So please keep the instructions “idiot-friendly”. My sound card is a Intel 82801DB-ICH4 (Alas Mixer). I have a Sony Vaio PCG-4C1L. Oh, just so everyone is aware, I have tried ajusting advanced volume control and all of the articles on the Ubuntu homepage using the search key “no sound sony vaio”.
I am running version 8.04. Also, my system is a laptop (speakers are built in)
