total noob, cant even figure out how to start install
Asked by
ratzas
Downloaded start package for Ubuntu 8.04 and burned iso file to CD. It would not load on a old comp[uter that has had the HDD formatted and was started with a Win98 boot disk with CD enabled.
then downloaded the alternate small install package, burned to CD and it won't boot either.
CD is set in bios as #1 drive.
I have NO knowledge of Unix/Linux. Prior windows user only but reasonably competent there.
I get error message of "invalid disk, remove and replace" or some such trying to boot disk from DOS prompt or to auto-start on restart of computer.
NO CLUE!
