How-To: Install Linux Risk Free, With No Formatting or Repartitioning Required
Posted 07/29/2008 at 11:05:17pm
I have a copy of Ubuntu 7.10 disc. Several attempts to install it on a very old Sony VAIO Notebook were not successful. I even tried to "test-drive" the software with the disc. The computer will try to read the files in the disc for a few minutes but then nothing happens. The computer has an Intel Pentium III 850 MHz processor and I have upgraded the RAM to 256 MHz.
Currently, I have Window XP installed on the computer. It is running fine, but a bit slow. Could the problem be due to insufficient RAM?
Can anybody please help or comment? Thanks.
