Installed Ubuntu 10.04 which is an LTS (long time support ) edition. It's working like a champ. The boys at Ubuntu suggest that my NVIDIA graphics card is the problem with 11.xx installations. On second thought they may be right. No more upgrades for me until my NVIDIA graphics card is supported. I'm definitely bummed by this. It's crazy to by a new box that is successfully supported by Windows. <br></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>I still would like to now about a 64 bit cd/dvd only linux distro based on Knopix. Knopix is not supported by anymore and the only other distro is in French. Your help would be appreciated.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Thanks,</span></div><div><span>Ralph

<div><br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Seriously heck out Wubi, it installs Ubuntu from within Windows. It's safe, it doesn't mess with partitions or the master boot record (it simply adds an item to Windows' own boot manager). It won't give you the absolute best i/o performance but for desktop applications you're unlikely to notice. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer</div>

<div>I don't know for sure why that would happen. I myself had a problem upgrading but everything was fine when I did a clean install. (my installation completed but when trying to login with the standard desktop (not Unity 2d) it funny things would happen)<div>
<br></div><div>There is an alternate installer. It's not as pretty but it works good, it's the same one used for the servers. You can find it here if you want to give it a shot: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate<br>

Trying to reinstall ubuntu 11.11 for second time. Using feature of installing ubuntu 11.11 over ubuntu 11.11. Goes through all of the steps but hangs when completing installation with last message : Asking all remaining processes to terminate. This has been going on for at least an hour. I hesitate to stop the process. I have my system backed up. But I don't wish to a destructive reinstall. Any suggestions?<br>
