New Sig Coming soon!
September 10, 200718 yr Author ok i solved my problem.. i found a cd lol but now i need more help... look at edited post New Sig Coming soon!
September 11, 200718 yr You did burn the image using a tool for image burning didn't you? You didn't just burn the actual ISO file to a disc? :P Make sure to use a program like Nero to "Burn Image" to disc. If you can choose the "Boot from CD" option in your BIOS (I think you have it), then you got that part right, you need to just fix the disc.
September 11, 200718 yr Author well i found my problem.... i wasnt paying attention and just hit ok when it was "done" copying over i realized the disk was too small and it couldn't copy all the files... over half.... so ill pick up a new cd tomorow and see what happens :) New Sig Coming soon!
September 13, 200718 yr I don't care how simple Ubuntu is now... If you can't burn an ISO to a CD you shouldn't touch Linux in any shape or form. :? Just keep using Windows. If anyone else in your family uses that particular computer they'll be just as lost as you too. Learning how to use different and sometimes multiple applications to do the same thing as you would do in Windows is just a waste of time. Also... Gaming, you're pretty much giving it all up unless you can install WINE or dual-boot with XP, which sorta defeats the purpose of installing Linux in the first place. If you're just trying it out, sure go ahead. I'm all for learning new things, but if you use your computer for anything semi-serious you'll be back to Windows within a month. :P Notoriously Trollish.
October 10, 200718 yr Edited first post... Thanks for that, now nobody has a clue what the other replys in the thread are for... :wall:
October 10, 200718 yr What is the make/model of your wireless card. You can try going to it's manufactures site (on the pc that has internet, or you could plug the one with ubuntu into a good 'ol hard ethernet line), and seeing if any linux drivers are available. Last.fm Signature Overlays
October 10, 200718 yr For running Windows wireless drivers on Ubuntu, you should try NDISWrapper. It's made specifically for this. I once shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.Pics or it didn't happen. I hate my generation.
