Where is the Ubuntu8.04? Have you burnt the ISO on a CD/DVD? Many manufacturers bundle new machines with Caldera. So if you have a media which is not bootable, it will boot OS on HDD i.e Caldera I am sorry, I will start with basics First burn the ISO on a CD/DVD using the burning software e.g Nero Put this bootable CD/DVD in drive and reboot. As machine reboots go into BIOS...press DEL key or Whichever key as appears during boot. Change the 1st boot drive to CD/DVD. Save changes (F10) and it will reboot. Ubuntu screen should come up Continue boot process and you should have a desktop. If no GUI and as you say a dos prompt then it means your graphic card not recognised by Ubuntu...very unlikely now a days. regards, Ranjit. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
