Cannot Install Ubuntu 8.04 (probably partitioning issue)
Hello,
on my PC I have Linux Fedora 7 and Windows2000 installed
with the following partitions (/etc/fstab):
/dev/VolGroup00
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /windows/C vfat users,gid=
/dev/sda7 /windows/F vfat users,gid=
/dev/sda8 /windows/G vfat users,gid=
/dev/sda9 /windows/I vfat users,gid=
/dev/VolGroup00
How can I replace Fedora by KUbuntu 8.04
when installing Kubuntu from CD or running KUbuntu VM and then installing to HD the PC gets stuck after selecting the language settings.
Directly starting the installation from CD the PC completely gets stuck.
When starting the installation from live KUbuntu-CD I can at least abort the installation and read /var/syslog. There the following messages appear:

What is the best way to do a clean replacement?
Thank you for your help
