Linux installation problems

[gigapuist]

Thanks for the help Will. I know now what to do and what the problems wwre. (when I burned a dvd version of suse my software stopped and gave an error while it was verifying)

Here another question: can you install kubuntu 6.06 on a pc with only a live cd (because I have a live cd of kubuntu and I like the OS) or do I have to download and burn the instalation disk?

by the way is kubuntu 6.06 very different to suse 10.0?

kubuntu and suse are quite different. The kubuntu installation CD is a live CD. I'm not sure if they make any live CDs that you can not install from. There should be some sort of install button on the desktop, or at least in the system menu.

"The Desktop CD runs a live desktop directly from the CD and can install to your hard disk. The Alternate CD includes a text based installer for low memory, LVM or RAID installs.

The DVD contains both Live Desktop and Alternate installers, as well as the other packages in our main archive." - http://www.kubuntu.org/download.php

Actually Fyron I don't think the live cd could install to the hard drive until the last release.

Well 5.05 is no longer relevant for discussion, so...
