P4 LGA 775 2.2GHz dual core processor.
MSI P35 NEO-F Motherboard

3GB 800Mhz Ram.

Problem:
When i put the CD in and select to boot from it a loading bar with the Kubutu logo appears for a few seconds then it comes up with “Decompressing Linux OK… Loading Kernel” and just stays there and won’t go any further, what do you recommend?

You need to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file to configure your static ip address.

I disagree – Simply MEPHIS is by far the easiest and most complete disto that I have ever tried. It simply installs, recognizes all of my hardware and runs. IMO of course.:-)

I have 4 partitions, 2 of them have Windows XP and 98SE installed, other 2 I use for storing important projects and data (they are FAT32).
Can I install Kubuntu without losing any data on one of these partitions ?

if choose that option it will give you the available freespace in your hard disk and existing partitons so you can choose your kubuntu installation should be used your free space.

hope this helps

If I choose manually edit partition table, how should I resize my HDD?

I am following up on the progress with mounting my fat32 drive partition to share with windows. I tried your suggestion by inserting the line

/dev/hdb5 /media/windows vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0

into the fstab file. That didn’t work. I checked the Ubuntu forums and found this line to insert that allows me to read and write to my fat32 partition:

/dev/hdb5 /media/windows vfat user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0

I don’t know what the terms (type, options, dump and pass) mean but rest assured, it works. Thanks for your help. Hope this also helps someone else.

first thing i would suggest check your patition table using

sudo fdisk -l

once you get the confirmation of your partiton you need to use the following command format i am giving if

/dev/hdb5 /media/windows vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0

hope this helps

I am attempting to mount a FAT32 partition in Kubuntu. I have done the following:
sudo mkdir /media/windows
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_backup
gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

I have been able to open the fstab file and made a backup.
One time I was able to add the following line: /dev/hdb5 /media/windows vfat iocharset=,umask=000 0 0

I saved the edited file file once but I cannot mount the FAT32 partition and can’t get back into administrative (root) mode to attempt changes.

My limited knowledge with Ubuntu allowed me to go into the Terminal and make the changes. How do I do this in Kubuntu? I simply want to use the FAT32 partition with WinXP and Linux. Thanks for the help.

I must take a moment to say thanks. Thanks to you and the Linux community. I deleted “I” partition with Partition Magic and installed Kubuntu. I used Ubuntu last year. During the Ubuntu install, there was no option to select free space without doing the manual partitioning which I am no good at. With the new Kubuntu install, the neat slider to select the amount of free space works great and installing is a snap. Partition Magic in Windows no longer reads the partitions on my hard drive so I successfuly used gparted. Thanks again Linux community for making such a great product. Now, to roll up my sleeves and get Linux to recognize a FAT32 partition.
