I had a previous post about a web server and Linux. I decided to learn
about installing Linux and creating a web server using my 2004 vintage
Pentium 4 desktop. Once I understand everything and get it to work, if I
then think I need a new computer, then I can get it.
I could not use ver 16 of Ubuntu because it is 800M in size and my blank
cd disk can only handle up to 700M. The desktop does not have a dvd
drive, only a cd drive. So, I downloaded ver 14 which is less than 600M.
I tried installing it last night and it got hung up on the first page,
the language page. The Enter key does not work, the arrow keys do not
work, and the mouse is not active. I left it this way overnight and it
still was hung up and so Ubuntu was not in the process of doing
something. It is just hung up for some other reason. The hard drive is
30G and has Windows XP on it. All the programs on it use up almost all
this space. Does Ubuntu require a reformatted drive to install to? I
thought it would reformat the disc itself.
