Since Arch Linux isn't really suited to someone new to Linux my dad has
downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu (7.04). About 3 hours ago he
booted the CD. After quite a long time (30mins to an hour) it had
finished loading gnome. Knoppix doesn't take more than a couple of
minutes at most, so what was Ubuntu doing to take that long to boot?
Right near the end there was one error about not being able to find a
gnome panel applet, but I don't think it was a problem.
Anyway, we clicked the install icon on the desktop, and it's been
chugging away on the hdd and cd drive for 2 hours or more now and still
hasn't finished. The screen blanked out for powersave, but I can't get
it back now. The install is still going though.
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS IT DOING!?!?!?!
