trying to install xubuntu but won't install programs
I downloaded the xubuntu 10.4 iso file & burned it to a cd. I put together an old computer to build a stand alone home server from an article in dated back in 2007. Anyway, I make through the install all the way up to where it "selects & installs programs", it ask me about auto updates & gives me 3 options, no auto updates, auto updates, & manual updates using (i can't remember what it was called), I've tried all 3, then it tells me it doesn't have all it needs for the english language & wants to know if I want to download the upgrade or not, I've tried both. Then it goes on to retrieving 830 some files or something, after it does that it starts cleaning up unneeded file or something like that. Then it stops & says an error occurred in the installation of "select and install programs" & that I can try to select from a list & try again (which I did while changing my answers to above options) or skip to another program which I eventually did jump to the grub loader. When it finishes that I'm told to eject the cd & it restarts, when it comes back up its in what appears to be a msdos screen (I know it isn't msdos). But how can I get the programs to install so I'll have the user interface up when it boots up?
