I recently pulled a 40GB IDE drive out of my basement Pentium III computer. I thought, hey, why not, it's a decent size, so i'll install ubuntu on it.
Problems:
1) Sometimes after I boot from CD and hit start Ubuntu (in safe graphics mode or not) my computer goes into an infinite booting cycle, and I have to turn it off manually.
2) When I hit install ubuntu, it ends up with four lines in DOS:
*insert line, i forget* [ok]
*insert line, i forget* [ok]
checking battery state [ok]
running local scripts ( /etc/rc.local) [ok]
and it will do nothing. Period. I can type in that, but nothing happens.
I dunno what it is, I even tried reburning the CD and checking both for defects.
