Did you check the MD5 sum of the disk to see if it's good? Also, how about trying to install without booting to the desktop.

:laugh:

I don't know if it has changed since I last installed, but when you pop the LiveCD in and reboot, you should eventually be brought to a screen that asks you to press enter, or something. You can type in the field, and I think if you type "install" you can skip the whole desktop process.

But again, this may have changed. My Ubuntu CD's are all Breezy Badger, I just manually update them to Edgy.

One of the earlier releases of Ubuntu.

Warty Warthog (4.10) -> Hoary Hedgehog (5.04) -> Breezy Badger (5.10) -> Dapper Drake (6.06) -> Edgy Eft (6.10)

how come 6.10 isn't available on their site?

I beleive it is because 'Edgy' is still in beta. At 'Knot 3' or something like that.
6.6 Dapper is still the current official release. So I figure they aren't going to have it too easily aviable in case somebody who doesn't know Linux to well won't accidently try the beta.

Knot 3 was the Alpha release of Edgy. It moved into beta as...Edgy Eft Beta on the 26th/28th of September. The final release is on the 26th...or 28th. I'm bad with dates.

 

[dzammit]

The final release of Edgy Eft is expected on October 26.

Mine took a REALLY long time on the partition part...at least 30 minutes. I thought it was hung but it wasn't.

did you have to click it twice? like the first time it says it is unable to, but then it works all of a sudden, then the waiting.

"Mine took a REALLY long time on the partition part...at least 30 minutes. I thought it was hung but it wasn't."

sounds like a full format compared to a quick format.

Let me guess, the drive you're trying to resize is ntfs? Before I had problems resizing an ntfs partition, but I believe I solved it by doing a chdsk in windows.
