installing linux...
« on: March 12, 2009, 02:24:29 AM »
my linux disk finally came today :D and i have had some troubles installing it :angry: 

when i put it in it boots up properly (going to the try linux, install ect) but when i try to install it it freezes on the background screen... is this normal and i should wait longer? i am so lost... i also read on the case that it will wipe my hdd of EVERYTHING if i am not careful O_O how do i prevent this?

btw my distro is ubuntu (of course ^_^)


unrelated note... WOOHOO 150 posts!
