Still falling at later hurdles
Have burned the iso image- it works...to an extent...
The laptop keeps hanging up part way through the installation though.The furthest I have got is to the re-partion hard drive bit but then it goes to pot - because my old laptop already has a partition what it presents me is different to what the setup ubuntu dual booting lesson shows me. I am out of my depth.
This is what I am looking at..
Dual-Booting Windows XP/Vista And Ubuntu 7.04 | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials
strangely...I can get as far as the set keyboard layout section and, as I have said, many of my keys on the laptop do not work. Many more seem to work on the ubuntu setup keyboard layout test screen.????
