you won't be happy running like that. it will be very slow. be sure your CD is good. i've been doing several ubuntu installs lately, and had trouble with at least two different CDs that i had burned. is there an existing operating system on your hard disk that ubuntu is trying to preserve? i had an apparent hang last night while it was supposedly trying to compress my windows partition, but it actually wasn't doing anything at all -- i restarted the install, and everything worked fine. don't know what changed. can you install anything else on the hard drive? (i.e., is it really an ubuntu problem?) in the end, i think you need to ask for help in an ubuntu support forum, rather than here. paul =--------------------- paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (arlington, ma, where it's 43.3 degrees) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
