Installing Ubuntu 10.04 from live cd
I currently have puppy Linux 5.2 installed on hd. Booting from Ubuntu 10.04 live cd, once it loads and is working, I tell it it install to the hd, the DVD drive shows activity, but nothing happens as far as installing ubuntu, if I reboot puppy Linux is still there, any suggestions? Thanks

Computer specs? Also Ubuntu 10.04 is not a good choice as it is long in the tooth and mainly unsupported. If wanting Ubuntu. Try Lubuntu 12.04 instead or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/pending/.
If running Puppy Like I do. I ask about your specs for a reason. |
Motherboard specs
Sorry about the delay, have had company for the last week.
Here are the specs. Motherboard Specs: Processor - Via C3 1 GHz CPU Core Chipset - VT8235 (SB) & VIA CLE266 (NB) Integrated 2D/3D Video Accelerator (2 to 64MB shared memory) VGA - good up to 1920x1440 w/CTR and 1600*1200 LCD RAM - One 184-pin DIMM socket for DDR, supporting up to 1GB Integrated LAN - Realtek RT8100C 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Audio - AC'97 Codec The reason for Ubuntu 10.04 is it has a cnc router component I want to use. |

There is Menu>System>pup-sysinfo You gave me generic ram specs but no installed ram specs. This matters because Ubuntu sucks up the ram. If me in your shoes. I would try Lubuntu 10.04. But. The funny thing is. I don't think their software manager will download your cnc router component because it is not supported anymore. a 12.04 version should have the same cnc router component and is still supported so the software center/synaptic package manager will be more applicable. if 1 gig of ram is what you have. And, a 1 gig CPU. Then a lightweight window manager of Ubuntu 12.04 spin off is what I would suggest. Also I would use puppy linux gparted in a live session or Ubuntu in a live session to make a swap partition of 2 gig before running the gui installer or trying to run live. The lightest version of 12.04 I can think of is http://byteandbit.blogspot.com/2013/...tallation.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdGFK1EoS7I Just to show what I am running Code:
sh-4.1# su fido of this laptop. So I run Linux inside of Windows 7 as a program install instead of on it's own partition. If this laptop would have booted off of my SD card. I would have used my http://forums.solydxk.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1858 instead I had my own upstream rowing going on also http://antix.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=4891 but I got it sorted. I wish you good luck with your endeavors. Happy trails, Rok P.S.> They make a 10.04 minimal cd live installer also. Also, the exact name of the cnc router program may help because Ubuntu shows on the web what versions that particular package is included in their repos. example:Linky |
I wouldn't be using Ubuntu 10.04 at all. Canonical no longer support it (desktop version that is) and if you come across any difficulties peoples first response should/will be "install a current and supported version then ask for help if you have problems".
