Re: [wlug] Setting up a computer for a friend

We first got Puppy Linux to work off the cd . But he wants to run Ubuntu 8.10 However when we go to load it it defaults to the command line and we don't know what we are doing. What information do you need to help us and what commands should we try ?

I have heaps of distributions, old and new, that could be worth trying. How much RAM does the computer have? Ubuntu likes heaps! Michael
