Ubuntu Problem

Ecko · 08-03-2008, 01:14 PM

So guyz as I was looking forward to try Ubuntu again I got struck in a problem
The installation CD isn't working fine but i have a backup copy if data on CD but that isn't bootable

I want to install Ubuntu from my HDD not from Live bootable CD

I can though boot into DOS at startup using some bootable CD but I want to install Ubuntu using the files from HDD

If Someone can help..!!!!

over with suse & yast

?pppoeconf is anytime better than yast's messy complex scripts JFYI.

Thanx 4 help

Suse is always a hit
Just a bit resource heavy
Yast is as always the easiest method to install

I'm trying from morning to install ubuntu & till not haven't got it installed

This irritates me the most

Was trying it as gagandeep said that i should give it another try

LOL. Yes, since january on my office system. I have ubuntu on that. I have had mandriva, debian, ubuntu, dsl, knoppix, puppylinux, sabayon and centos on my home system during the same duration.
