[Cialug] Installing Xubuntu

[Stuart Thiessen]

I was installing Xubuntu 6.10 on an older machine that has a 20G hard 
drive and 1 CD-RW and 1 CD-ROM drive. When I installed it the first 2 
times from the CD (using the text mode install), I told it to use the 
whole drive and automatically partition it. Then when I rebooted from 
the hard drive it gave me a Grub error 18 which from what I understand 
basically means that my booting partition was too big for the BIOS??

So try #3 (third time is supposed to be the charm, right?), I manually 
set up the partitions and set up a 4GB boot partition, and then left 
the rest to / and swap. I rebooted from the hard drive, and now I have 
a Grub error 17 which I am now researching.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Stuart
