Hi Folks,

Right, I finally managed to assemble the computer and everything seems to be working. I've made a ubuntu boot CD (9.10), selected the CD drive to boot first (HD second) and then selected "Install ubuntu". What supposed to happen then? And how long does it take?

It goes to a screen with a ubuntu logo fading in and out, whilst the light on the cd drive flickers away for what seems like aaaaagggges.

So should it be going to an install screen pretty quickly after this?

Cheers,
Paul
 
Ok now it just keeps saying

"Buffer I/O error on device sr0"

What does that mean? It's a new HD so it hasn't been formatted or anything, but I thought that would be part of the installation process
