Hi: I am running severl Edubuntu boxes both at home and at work. Last week, a friend has an extra old PC that was running Win XP that he wanted to give Edubuntu a try. So I took it home and tried installing Edubuntu 8.0.4 on it.
I downloaded the latest ISO and burned it onto the disk. The PC is an old AMD Duron with only 128MB. When I stick in the install CD, the first menu came up and I chose the "Install" option. It then brought up the orange-ish screen with the image of a bird. It stays on this screen for hours and with the CD-rom spinning continuously. No menu or icon would appear on the screen. Essentially, I am unable to get to *any* installation menu. I was using the on-board graphics so I dug up an AGP graphics card and tell the BIOS to use this new AGP graphics card. I am hoping this will offload some on-board resources. Nope! All I get is that orange-ish screen. And I let it sat there for hours and it is still the same screen. I have even old P3 and P4 that runs Edubuntu with *no* problem let alone installing it. I am puzzled about why this box, albeit pretty humble, would have this problem. Is 128MB RAM just simply too small? Any clue much appreciated. --Vincent
