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.

    • Apple releases massive slide deck to help children convince their parents to buy them a Mac

      By adrynalyne · Posted

      Apple prices for sure suck, but performance, upgradability and flexibility are subjective to the use case and machine. For example, you will not find a mini PC in the same starting price range that has the same performance as a Mac Mini, nor will it be very upgradable, if at all at that size. Many cost-effective laptops are not upgradable past the storage. Inexpensive laptops are underperforming in comparison to more expensive models that might actually cost more than a MacBook . You won’t find battery life is comparable unless you go with Snapdragon, which limits compatibility and sacrifices upgradability. AIOs suck in both spaces, so I’ll not mention them. As for flexibility, I can do more in my use cases with a Mac than I can with a Windows or Linux machine. Where Apple really screws their users over is with upgrades, especially since you have to do them during purchase. Outside of cost, it’s all subjective.

      Not with Proton, no. macOS isn’t Linux in any way, shape, or form.
    • Some AMD Ryzen users can get free Windows performance boost with this simple system tweak

      AIDA64 was just showing the variable speed. Open Task Manager and go on the CPU tab and see the magic of your CPU speed going up and down as the PC does things in the background. C States Auto/Disabled actually forces all cores on (disabling the ability to park unneeded 3D Cache cores when they aren't needed), but does not have any effect on the CPU speed. I think setting the Power Plan in Windows to High Performance does boost the CPU clock higher, which also results in less energy efficiency with "everything turned up to 11" all the time when it isn't even needed. Older generation CPUs did not have the variable speeds we now have in modern CPUs, they operated on a fixed clock speed.

    • Is the Start menu in Windows actually useful? Do we even need it?

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      "What the f is that name of that program?! Good thing I can find it in the easily accessible, and alphabetized list of apps." 🙂 I don't use the Start Menu a lot, but I'd be super annoyed if there wasn't some form of an app drawer in Windows.
