[chesss]

I recieved kubuntu day-before yesterday

Report: Excellent as such!! though I couldn't install it earlier due to some bugs and such, but now that Ihave tweaked (bum) configured, and setup stuff, it works great!!!
If only linux and something like strokeit(mouse gestures) , I would dump windows anyday.

 

[Vishal Gupta]

All 5 CDs of EDUBUNTU r not working on my comp.

I checked the contents in Windows and the CDs contain files but when I tried to boot using CD, nothing happened. Computer tried to boot using CD and searched for a few minutes but after that it started windows.

All other CDs of KUBUNTU & UBUNTU r working well!

Are you trying out live cd or you have installed Ubuntu?
How much RAM does your system have?

 

[JGuru]

@Sandeep_arsenal, maybe your CD is corrupt. Can you give your System configuration info ? You may
alo try booting with the another CD you have. If you have 256 MB or less RAM it would be slightly slow.

 

[JGuru]

I got my Ubuntu & Kubuntu CDs today. They are working fine. Actually Ubuntu 6.0 loads faster than it's predecessor.
They even have a Video featuring Nelson Mandela. Even the overall appearance looks cool.

 

[vignesh]

I stuck a sticker on my CPU !

 

[~Phenom~]

I just wanna say that please dont order CDs just because they are free and only if u really need them. i have seen many people ordering Ubuntu Cds in huge numbers in the past and then wasting them like anything. It is not good.
Please dont misuse their resources.
Thanx.

 

[rohandhruva]

Vishal Gupta : The edubuntu cd's are not live cds. They are only install cd's, since most edubuntu cds are used to install LTSP servers.

Phenom: Extremely well said !!

 

[Vishal Gupta]

So how to install them?
R these EDUBUNTU CDs not bootable? coz I tried to boot using EDUBUNTU CD but none of them work.....

 

[rohandhruva]

Well, the cd's are surely bootable. They can be installed only by the text install method. If the cd's dont boot at all, maybe you've recieved defective ones - try md5sum'ing them

@Gary, Use Synaptic Package Manager and get the updated source list, then you can download tons of software.
