looking for advice on installing ubuntu os

[Andy Boersma]

Hi Kevin

You are booting from the CD?
Ubuntu runs (its slow)
Under system/administration/Synaptic package manager

Has Gparted been installed?
If not please install. (if cannot install make sure you are connected to 
network)
Start Gparted remove all partitions from HDD and then try to install.
