DEARbuntu ---
Help. I need support, but have no ISP (but once weekly @ pub. lib.) so I need
someone I can e-mail with. (I don't suppose you know where broadband is nearly
free? SocSec Disability, you know, gives me no money to spare.)
I was granted a legacy computer with Ubuntu. It had some nifty-looking
NoStarch _*n*x_Cookbookery_ on it which I was reading; but midway through
chapter 1 we had a brownout, switching the box off and banishing the fs to
the Twilight Zone. (Granters say, "Get Ubuntu's Installation Disc. It'll be
easy." So what do they know!?)
So I sent in for the Ubuntu Installation disc. Installation should be
straightforward and simple? Maybe?
But I get stuck at step 4 or so. (Sorry, I'm doing e-mail, so I'm not at home
where my box is.) This is the screen about partitioning. It's blank. There's
nothing to click-select, and I don't seem able to enter any text anywhere. I
figure that my problem is that I can't direct Ubuntu's attention to the hdd
which is a dev which has not been mount ed, but how can I mount it for
partitioning if Ubuntu can't see it? (Only options are BACK and QUIT.)
Please advise, and thank you for. (I really hope I haven't lost that book of
tutorials and hackery.)
(Time's up! They're throwing me off!)
