Ubuntu Operating System

Cloud Strife · 12-07-2007, 04:03 PM

I didn't know where to put this, but i have the new Ubuntu OS on disc and every time i put the disc in it just asks me if i want to install Firefox and Firefox related applications

the reboot doesn't work, when it says leave it in and reboot and it will run... help?

Put the disc into your computer and reboot. Then set the computer to boot into the compact disc if it does not do so automatically.

Edit-Right after your computer starts up, you should get a screen with text that says something along the lines of "press esc for boot options". Press that button. Change it so that your computer boots from the compact disc.

i haven't done this Ubuntu stuff before with Live Disc so how do i set it to boot with the disc?

While the BIOS loads, press F10, F11, F12, or DEL (depending on your board manufacturer) and select your optical drive.

ill try that but F10 starts Recovery, so I'll try F11, F12 and DEL

I think F8 works for me to simply bring of the boot menu after the bios has loaded. That way you dont have to change it in the bios you can just select which drive to boot from at that time. But it is different from one motherboard to another.

Yes Ubuntu is cool but I prefer either Ubuntu Studio or Linux Mint another Ubuntu Based OS.
