<font face="Arial">If your pc as old as you say in your initial email,
the (K)Ubuntu *alternate* install CD may be the only way to go. I have
installed alternate versions on my 10 year old laptop ( to keep up with
6 month update cycle) and have found this to be a success. The
alternate install CD uses a 'blue screen' method of install which is
far less demanding during the install process on ram and graphics
memory than the liveCD install version. Don't let 'blue screen' put
you off though - this is as straight forward as the liveCD way, just
not as pretty! I have Kubuntu 7.04 alternate install CD that I can make
copy of if you like, but I live in the Hutt - don't know how convenient
that is to you. Alternatively, visit <a href="http://www.thelin-xportal.com/">http://www.thelin-xportal.com/</a>
for any distribution delivered to your door for around $5/cd. (No I
don't have shares in the business!...)<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I'd just like to thank everyone who responded with offers of
installation CDs and help.
I got a copy of Kubuntu and Ubuntu and have tried to install both at
separate times. They both stall during the partition process. I
tried all partition options but they all stall (nothing happens for >8
hours) after the HD scan. I now suspect that I have more hardware
problems than a simple :-) corrupted HD. But enough winging about my
hardware problems. This was meant to be a thank you post.
Thanks.
Tim
