Ubuntu?

[scottish]

o.0 on the live session thing you know before you install it is there a problem with the internet or anything, as atm i put the ethernet cable in and it picks it up and even says;

Speed: 100 Mb/s

yet it takes 37 seconds to load google? :S

It will be slow, its loading resources to run the OS off the disk all the time, it will speed up to normal speed once installed.

Thought so :P

can't edit above but any ideas?

I started the installation, and chose where im from but it only shows top half of the screen (its resolution is set to 800x600 and i can only change it to 640x480 , can't change to 1024x768 or w/e it is usually.. o.0 so i only see the top half of the box and it won't go any smaller and if i put it to maxamise it doesn't change.. ?

It hasn't find drivers for your graphic card imo.

Yeh i know cause its running off the CD still, but how am i meant to get through the installation if i can't see half the screen.

Hey,

If you need, the live cd can install ubuntu without actually logging you in to a live session from the start up menu, if i remember correctly. Equally you may be able to fix the issue with the live session, enabling restricted drivers will often solve such problems.
Although i cant imagine 800x600 is that big of a hindrance, ive successfully navigated the installation at 640x480 before, although it did take some guess work on what the buttons said.
