Dear All
I decided to try the Kubuntu flavour and downloaded the iso:
kubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386.iso. I made a bootable DVD and inserted it into
the drive then rebooted. I was presented with a menu and choose the
first option: "Start or install Kubuntu". Next was the loading linux
kernel progress bar. After a few minutes all came to rest with a
prompt: "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$_". It was not obvious what I do to get into a
gui/KDE. Startx did nothing I tried to boot a few more times and
sometimes the prompt was: "(initramfs)_".
Not only was I not able to run the DVD as a live install to try out
Kubuntu but I was not able to install Kubuntu either.
I decided to purchase the 32 and 64 bit Kubuntu DVD's and did so, hoping
that I had made an error with turning the ISO into a bootable disc.
Alas alack, the same thing occurred with the 32 bit pre made DVD.
The DVD drive does boot as I have installed Mandriva via DVD after this
failed attempt. I know that making a boot disc from an ISO is not about
copying the ISO file to the burn medium. It is a specific choice within
the burning programme.
Any help appreciated
