In this situtio the cd is being continuesly read and hard disk is being monitored as indicated by continues LED

AFTER THE PC JUST HANGS ON THAT CURRENT SITUATION WITH NO FURTHER
MOVEMENT BUT THE PC KEEP ON WORKING AND MAKING NOISES AND IT HANGS ON THAT SITUTION FOREVR

WHAT SHOULD I DO

@Ayushman9, Post your PC configuration first. Also do you have a onboard GC?
Also Ubuntu Live CD loads slowly with 256 MB RAM. If you have 512 MB RAM, it
will definitely load faster.

Try booting in safe-graphics-mode.
some of my friends with amd systems had trouble with normal booting.

The desktop CD allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later. This type of CD is what most people will want to use. You will need at least 192MB of RAM to install from this CD.

you should install from Alternate install CD
Ubuntu 6.10

your system will run very slow on ubuntu, better you install Xubuntu (ubuntu with XFCE desktop) it is lighter than ubuntu (which is with gnome desktop).
download from Alternate install CD
Xubuntu 6.10

first of all, Ayushman, plz remove the Caps Lock... its like ur shouting!!!!

secondly, i answered ur question on where to get distros in ur other thread itself...

regarding ur PC config.it actually is less than the 256MB ram that is the minimum requirement for ubuntu...

so go for either the alternate as sariq said above, and prefer XFCE to all other DEs and finally, go for smaller linuxes like Puppy Linux, it will run better!!! and also avoid Live Distros, instead install them and then use it...

PS: Its 6.06 and not 6.07

Edit:

I just saw that u were ready for upgrades...

if then go for better RAM,say 512MB and if needed a graphics card as well, as nowadays, Linux looks cool with the new XGL 3D Desktop switcher 8)

my computer have same config. as ayushman. plz suggest me some easy to install & use. I am usin airtel gprs connection with nokia 3220.
I got mandriva mini cd2006 with DIGIT mag. Is this good for me
I am waiting for yours reply.........

[ray|raven]

if u want it to be easy,
i suggest going for Xubuntu.

however if ur not too new to linux and are willing to undergo some learning,
i suggest Zenwalk,its based on slackware and is amazing on older systems.
its way faster when compared to Xubuntu.
however bear in mind its no where as easy for a person new to linux as [X]Ubuntu.

yes, I am new to linux OS , just little knowledge of dos.I am excited ......to use linux.
does XUbuntu support multimedia & Internet(gprs)???
give some link plz
thanx in advance

[ray|raven]

Yes you can play all multimedia and also connect to gprs using Xubuntu.
However multimedia codecs arent bundled with xubuntu because of legal reasons.

Refer to this thread to enable multimedia:
One stop reference for enabling multimedia in Linux

i dont know how u can use gprs on ubuntu but i know its possible.
there are many threads in this forum regarding it and you may find your answer in one of them.

thanx ray
i wana know about some basic operation in linux...whr i get those( any site/ thread)

[ray|raven]

You can find the Xubuntu Desktop guide here.
https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/pdf/xub...sktopguide.pdf

You dont need to 'learn' to use Linux.
Distro's such as Xubuntu are very easy to use, you should just get accustomed to their environment.
As far links are concerned follow the community forums of the distro you use along with our forums.
