hi gajendra I accidently removed firefox once. Now since the distro is not supported i am not able to install firefox again. i tried installing opera too; even with the firefox, there are dependencies issues. so i guess i have to go in for newer versions.
The thing is that live CD of 10.04 hangs in live mode as well as during installation. My computer just refuses to recognize 11.04/11.10 (i have tried desktop version.. i am yet to try alternate CD) and shows blank screen when i boot from live CDs of 11.04/11.10. I have also tried installing debian through USB.. it says boot error. I also tried 10.04 minimal CD through USB- it again says boot error. I'll burn a CD and again try installation. It seems that the computer does not have problems with old distros, I tried with an old CD of ubuntu ue 2.0. it worked fine in live mode. Pl give some clues..I need to have linux on this machine.
