Hello,

I am trying to install Ubuntu 7.04 from the boot CD. At the beginning of installation, I am getting the following error message "/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off", then the line below it has "(initramfs)". Who can help me with getting past this? I haven't even gotten a chance to set up the hard drive.
Thank You

Is this the live cd? If so do you even get to a menu to select what to boot into?

This is a well known problem, doing a search for this error returns many hits.

One solution is here: http://blog.shevin.info/2007/04/how-...in-feisty.html

Hello,

I appreciate the feedback and have a successful resolution. I downloaded the "alternate" install program. I have not used a text-based install program for a long time, but this was user-friendly, efficient, and thorough.

I look forward to learning the OS. I troubleshooted the mouse. It appears that the Plug&Play capabilities through the USB port are very good. I was amazed at how it integrated onto the wired Windows network. I had a quick connection to the Net. I have already successfully set up the Canon PIXMA i4000 printer which is connected on the WinXP Home computer. It prints from the Open Office Word program.

The bundled applications on the install disk show a complete understanding of what a user will need especially, the Firefox browser and the Open Office programs.

Thank You
