I was given a very old laptop (Toshiba Satellite 2510CDS) that had ME on it. I immediately wiped that off the HDD and decided I wanted to put Ubuntu 7.04 (the only one I had on disc) on it. When the boot screen comes up I choose install and the "Installing Linux Kernel" window comes up and then nothing happens. The screen goes blank and I have to reset the laptop to do anything. The HDD is formatted in NTFS, but I don't think that is the problem.
The laptop is only 266MHz with only 32mb of RAM. I think that's where I think the problem is.
If this is going to be a problem with Ubuntu then I think I'll just put 2K on it. It's not going to be used for much other than surfing and some word processing.
