I have a test box I used to install Ubuntu 5.04 onto that worked without problem. It sat unused for awhile and recently I attempted to log on to the machine without recollection of signon name or password.
Since the machine did not have any data on it I tried to reinstall it from the bood CD (OEM disk). Things went well almost all the way through. I told it to delete partitions and configure as it saw fit.
Which is why I'm confused as to why I've received messages near the end of the install saying that I was possibly out of disk space. I do not have the exact message but if I ignore the message and move on it wants to take me to a text-based app called Aptitude. After downloading and installing some files it gets to a point where it offers a simple text-only logon but that's about it. Nothing GUI and I'm not even sure how far the install made it through.
I've used partition delete utilities and everything else I can think of to make enough space. Or am I even barking up the right tree? I had it installed properly before so I'm at a loss as to what's different this time.
Your held and infinite expertise (at least compared to mine
are appreciated!
