Can I get a word from the Linux fans?

Hm, good point. Yes, there are entire graphical games that run in DOS. However, if it were DOS, it would follow that the hard drive would be boxxertrumps' own, and thus that any programs would be in his own language.

I think he is talking about the use of the ubuntu disk, like getting the spash screen. (note the Ubuntu disk of 6.10 is a live C.D. so if you are installing on it's own hard drive you need to do so from a disk with an eth0 connection at a minimum.)

Also the default language of Ubuntu is German, make sure you download the English version

Fedora Core 5 and 6 used here.

I can't answer this. I never had this problem.

But thanks blizzard. That is probably it.

Linux, especially Ubuntu, does not recognize its drive by letters but by name.

Hence my confusion.

no actually, i found that i royally screwed up when making the CD, and the contents of the drive was that of a regular boot disk.

I randomly switch between Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OS 9 and Ubuntu. Soon, I might get Mac OS 4, Windows 2000, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Kubuntu and Haiku. (Yes, I use Virtual PC programs. Windows Vista is my base OS.)
