Need some help here. I've downloaded Ubuntu Linux Dist and Mandriva Le 2005 Dist iso's several times from several different sites.
Everytime I try to install Mandriva I get an error starting it cannot install liborg-x11-6.8.2-7mdk.i586. The rest of the install goes fine except for when I try to configure my graphics card it tells me X is not running or set up. It boots fine but I cannot start X . When I try to I get an error stating that libxmuu.so.1 is not installed. I've burned the ISO w/ different types of discs and using different programs at different speeds and everytime it's the same result.
When I try to install Ubunta I get an error installing the base package. Again tried it several different ways all w/ same result.
Anyone have any idea what is going on here??
Thanks.
Full Version: Can't Install Linux
It could be the mainboard of your pc. Because I had two pcs last time and one could never install Linux and the other could with the same cds.
this case still exist in major linux distro's. PC's with not-popular brand hardware arent recognised. mayb this is the case here with you.

Maybe looking into http://www.linuxiso.org or http://www.distrowatch.com will help sort out some other distros for you.

Make sure that you are using a 64-bit distro...........

i don't think that matters as the AMD64 processors can easily run 32 bit Windows, it should be no different for any other 32bit x86 arch OS

I fully understand... but I suspect that the these distros may have better drivers and apps to help out in this situation (possibly).

true, you may be right, i don't have the luxury of having an AMD64 processor at my disposal (yet) to test out the AMD64 version of Ubuntu
