Maybe look at /var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/syslog like it says in the pic and look for more specific information.

And maybe the cd is faulty... I know that Breezy had an option during the install to check the cd for errors, probably that option is around somewhere in the dapper installation too. I can't remember seeing it though. Just have look around.

Is it a bad CD? We can't tell you. You tell us. Does the md5sum check out?

Per http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/linux/ubuntu-releases/6.06/MD5SUMS

You likely have the "desktop-1386" version.

As Tiftof mentioned, the error posted said to look into your syslogs for details.

    • Windows 11 Font Frustration!!!

      yeah i did some research and it seems they removed (or didn't carry over) the ability to change desktop icon fonts.....hopefully they bring it back for you soon...and yeah it also seems the ability to change the font has also been removed unless you adjust through registry or win aero.    if you haven't already, maybe trying to "adjust cleartype text" may help you. i tried running through it and noticed there were some bold font styles.   welcome (or bye haha) to windows 2025 btw!

      That'll be it for my 2018 Mac mini then. There is, of course, OpenCore Legacy Patcher . . .

      Support cost cutting and nudging people to upgrade for profit. Pure and simple. Nothing as noble as hardware actually becoming "obsolete" about most of the hardware requirements from Apple, Microsoft, or Android companies either. iMac 2017 with AMD running legacy Core still have native GPU support in macOS 15 and run perfectly fine. Doesn't even need any fancy patching outside of the minimum patching needed to get macOS 15 on the system to bypass Apple system requirements aking to running windows 11 on a PC that doesn't match the arbitrary CPU generation requirements that make you bypass them too. You can usually tell if hardware is truly in the realm of "obsolete" if you are having a hard time finding a major Linux distro that'll install on it.

      >Mozilla's Firefox has been left behind over time in terms of market share, as it has not been able to keep up with Chromium-based browsers in the performance department. I have no problems with Firefox's performance whatsoever. I suspect the reason Firefox is lagging in market share is that average consumers haven't heard of it and are fine with what was installed on their systems.
