Hey, i just tried to install gutsy gibbon on my Dell optiplex GX1 PC, which has a 6gb FAT32 HD, an 192 mb of RAM. It is a blank HD, and when i try to install it, it gets to 15%, Checking File System, and the PC freezes. Im not sure wether its the HD, the ram, or the FAT32, but i want to install it on my new PC, and im scared that it will freeze again, rendering my HD useless. What ould the Problem Be?

Re: Install problem
Which CD are you using for the install? With the low RAM you have available I would recommend the Alternate install CD.

Re: Install problem
I dont know what one it is, i diwnloaded the iso file, and burned the image to the CD. So, do you think that i can install it on my new pc without any problems?<a href="http://ubuntucounter.geekosophical.net" title="The Ubuntu Counter Project - user number # 22076"><img src="http://ubuntucounter.geekosophical.net/img/kubuntu-user2.php?user=22076" alt="The Ubuntu Counter Project - user number # 22076" /></a>Comment

Re: Install problem
You have an older computer and with only 192MB RAM Kubuntu is going to work, but it is going to work sloooooooooooooooooooooow... I'd recommend a sleeker distro like Xubuntu. It uses XFCE4 as desktop and the rest is the same as Kubuntu.
Whichever you opt to go for, the alternate CD as suggested by monte48lowes is a must.Once your problem is solved please mark the topic of the first post as SOLVED so others know and can benefit from your experience! / FAQComment

Re: Install problem
Ditto the above:
On the download page:
http://www.kubuntu.com/download.php#latest
choose your region and then the alternat cd download for your system (i386)
Here is a how-to for the alternate cd:

If you want kubuntu I would suggest upgrading your ram to at least 500MB (1GIG is better)

Re: Install problem
The alternate CD is not a live CD - you will go straight into the install procedure...Once your problem is solved please mark the topic of the first post as SOLVED so others know and can benefit from your experience! / FAQComment
